Windshield wiper conversion kit

I’m thinking of remove and replace my windshield wipers motor. Any suggestions on kits? Trying to get a good kit at a good price.
thanks

Don't know what year/model your truck is but............I replaced mine with a motor from a VW Rabbit, sounds kind of quirky, but I mounted it behind the stock hood hinge locale on the driver's side (F100-56) and am running both sides off of a single shaft running across the bottom of the dash. I had to come up with something creative because my cab (56 with 53-55 wiper assy) is sectioned and the A/C unit was in the way. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it was really kind of simple and it has turned out to be probably the lowest maint item on the whole build. Not much call for wipers in Arizona but it's still a good system. I should get around to reloading my galleries and build photos after my return to the forum. Good luck

I started off doing a mod of my wipers using pics from das54 album. I have several posts on here about it. Never could get it to work properly. Ended up getting the Raingear wiper conversion. Very easy to do...but a pricey. But in the end I was satisfied with them.
