Radio clearance problems
I am having a problem with the clearance on my 65 F250 radio install. It will not slide back in the dash all the way due to it running into the winshield wiper motor. Are there any replacement motors from the aftermarket or from later model trucks that will give me more clearance for my radio.

I assume you are instaling an aftermarket radio and the hole is already cut into the dash? I installed a JVC pull out type radio in my truck (64) and it fit fine with no interference.
If this is the case, I might suggest you try a different radio rather than a wiper motor.
But, if your locked into the radio and need a different wiper motor, all I can say is try to match up a motor from either a slavage yard or your local parts house (if they will allow you to browse the shelves, try a time when they aren't too busy).
Keep in mind that things like motor rotation and mounting points are going to be factors.
