FLD wiper conversion (air to electric)

First I have to say I have not done this or know the trucks but think of this as a bump for other to see.

With that said where the 2 are placed on the truck, fire wall? Are they the same angle on each truck?
The air looks to have 4 screws that hold the bracket to the truck that holds the motor do they go thru the fire wall? I see a “drag link” from the drivers side arm to the passenger side on the air setup how is the elect. Done as I don’t see a drag link in the picture.

The elect. Bracket looks to have 2 screws with stand offs that I see to hold the bracket to the fire wall are there more screws to hold it to the fire wall? Also how does the other arm move as I don’t see a drag link to the other side?

If the angles are the same on both year trucks and the fire wall is not molded to recess the elect. Motor I don’t see why you could not drill new holes to mount the elect. Motor/bracket with stand offs, fill the holes not needed, wire it and have it work.

Again I do not know the trucks or done this and is based on the pictures you posted.
Good luck

Why are you converting everything to electric? It would seem like it's more hassle than it is worth. The air operated power window in the FLD was really neat. I'd leave it all stock if it was my truck.

 

Sprague made solenoid set up that gave air wipers the delay feature.

 

I'll take your old Sprague air motor and mounting bracket off your hands if you switch to electric.

I want to put a separate motor on the passenger side like the cabovers have. I can get them old motors running like new.

 

Take it apart, clean it up and put in new lube. Calls for Dow Corning 200 fluid or something IIRC but I used a mixture of o-ring lube and synthetic 75/90 gear oil. Been running for years like new again.
The insides are plastic.

 

not very. it's good quality plastic.
