Default 35-36 pickup truck wipers

What have you used for electric wipers on your 35-36 Pickup?

I used Newport Engineering on my coupe but the kit they have for the pickup requires chopping up the header. I don't really want to do that. I don't really even care if it stays as is with one wiper but I would like it to be electric.

I see something called Mighty Wiper but know nothing about it.

Any recommendations?

Thx,
Heard

Heard, I don't know how much room there is in that pickup, but in my 35 sedan I adapted the rear wiper motor out of a Jap hatchback. I think it was a Ford Laser...thing is, these things sweep through 120 degrees and have pretty slender bodies to fit within the hatch door. All I had to do was open up the hole in the roof for the larger shaft.

I was not happy with the Mighty Wiper. I went back to vacuum. Works fine for me. I'm staying with just one wiper.

Wipers seem to be no good for me they fly off at 60 mph and above
