I see a KSL 230 looks just like 32 comm but it says 30-31 model A ..are they the same ?? how about KSL 511 is that the correct motor for 32 B PU ?

Re-read the earlier thread as Charlie has suggested and you will note that KSL511 is not the correct wiper motor for a '32 pickup.

I admit that it is a bit confusing that the wiper motors are stamped with Trico's part numbers rather than or in addition to Ford's part number. I suspect that there are a lot fewer surviving Trico catalogs of the period than Ford catalogs. May be someone herein with a Trico catalog can provide the Trico number (other than KSL 511).

I agree that it would likely do the job with a couple of alterations. The on/off control on an original was shorter and the back of the shaft did not protrude through the rear cover. The shaft can be easily shortened and the rear cover replaced with one without a hole for a protruding shaft. The rear covers are the same for nearly all late '32-'34 wiper motors (all of which do not have a hole in the cover).

I happen to have a few (3)deep 32 (2 screw attachments) and (4) of the 33 up shallower rear covers - all left over.Free- just pay postage.
