'48 F-1 Truck Wiper Arm Length
 

Are they the same length for both the passenger and driver side?
Or maybe I should say were they originally the same length......

Yes, both the same

Thank you for that info.
Wiper motor newly rebuilt now. I'm bringing this system back up
to correctly operating.....

If you are going to run both use 9" or 10" blades. Also do not use a strong spring arm.
Vacuum wipers need all the help you can give them.
Your milage may vary.

Yup. Looking at 10" wipers. I need to scrutinize the linkage/
transmission and eliminate some "slop" there.....
Planning on doing that tonight.

Huh. All the play in the right side wiper was apparently the
lack of a bushing where the linkage connects to the wiper
motor. Interestingly enough, a common rubber grommet
fit right in there. (0.5" OD, 0.419" ID & 0.068" thick)
I knew I'd use one of those Harbor Freight grommets
eventually......
