Default 1950 f1 wiper change over

Has anyone changed to 2 speed electric wipers on their 48 49 50 f1, and if you did, did you have to modify anything under the dash ? THANKS

Call Newport engineering, they will fix you up with a bolt in and forget it wiper that will work great.

I used a kit from Newport Engineering. It depended on mounting to a brace under the dash, but my truck was not built with the brace they used and I had to make a bolt on brace for it.

My favorite part of my whole truck is the vacume wiper motor. Everyone I show it too loves it.

I love mine to but I have to admit the variable speed in my 41 is ALOT better than my F1 single speed. I like my 41s better than my new cars wipers. Who needs delay when you have an infinite number of settings.
