wiper swap question

I have a 1969 f-250 and i saw that some 73-79 trucks have intermitent wipers i was wondering if i could put that into my truck with out much problem. and what do i need. i assume teh new switch and the control box. but do i need the motor as well and if i need the motor does it bolt up the same way into a 69?

wiper swap question

Your wiper swap should be a plug-in and go, you can use any intermidnt setup from Ford cars as well, that use dash mounted switches, like 70s TBirds & Cougars, Lincolns, ect, just remove the switch, and the intermidnt box that is with it, & simply plug it into your truck, after removing your standard two-speed switch, you DO NOT need to change the motor itself.

[font color=red size=2]The switch and control box are the same up to '91. I recently got a switch and box out of an '81 Bronco and it plugged right into my '73 F100. They are more common in the newer trucks.
