Trick on a 57 Ranchero
 

The 57 Ranchero has a Trico wiper motor on it currently and it’s got issues. Can these be repaired? And suggestions what to do with it? Trying to keep this car original.

The one you have runs on vacuum from the engine???
The internal seals dry out. Here's a photo from a 'not a Ranchero'.
If you can get some brake fluid run thru the insides it helps rejuvenate the seals.

There are rebuilding services available, approx $135 plus $200 core charge.
Although this one may/may not be T-bird specific???
Call them and ask to confirm.

I know C&G Ford has a rebuild service. Just looked it up, $189...

Concours https://concoursparts.com/ in Carson City Nevada lists one. Sounds like its a rebuilt because it requires a $200.00 core charge.

Dennis, how did you make out? I took the vacuum system off of my car, and went electric.
