Wiper arms
The windshield wiper motor shaft on my '39 PU has threads on the end of it as if there should be an acorn type nut on it to retain the wiper arm. When I got the truck , there was a serrated cap on the end of the shaft held on by a shoulder nut and the wiper arm was of the type with serrations to keep the arm from spinning on the shaft. I can't seem to find the correct wiper arm or nut to retain the arm. Which type arm should I have with my truck, the serrated type or the bolt on type with a shoulder nut? It's not a big deal, but I would like for it to be correct.

Re: Wiper arms
Thanks for the lead, but he has only electric conversions for hot rods.

Re: Wiper arms
The arm is off my '39 since I replaced the windshield. I'll dig it out and take some photos in the morning. I thought that Joe's Antique Auto listed some arms but I might be wrong.
