Thread: Willy's wipers are gone.

Tweet

This might be my new project. It's a 1962 Willy's Jeep Wagon. I'm going to check it out Sunday. It's got a 305V8 Chevy with a truck tranny.




What can I use to get wipers again? Previous owner took the wiper motor out for the 350 Chevy clearance. Any type of electric kit recommended? Are there levers involved?

I used VW bug wipers in my 51 Ford Pickup............quite compact.

Here is a link to a list of Willys parts providers. You might start with Willys Works, they have a lot of that kind of stuff.

Using stock parts will be the easiest and cleanest looking installation....if your wiper motor doesnt hit the engine as you said it did....

I was thinking the same thing, and they are really powerful little buggers. Easy to adapt by cutting the shielding tube to whatever length you need, and the motor mounts remotely.

What year VW's?

Beetles, in the '60's '70's. They might even be on Squarbacks. All the common bugs had these.

One of you guys wouldn't happen to have a pic of an install would ya?
