Here are some pics of my 56 F-100. This was my Dads truck. I'm trying to get it back on the road and Im almost there.

Where can I find a windshield wiper motor that wont make me have to get a loan?

I'm not sure how much you were getting quoted, but we just got one from Bob's F-100 Parts in Riverside, CA. We actually traded a door and some other parts for it, but I believe they go for 147.00.

www.bobsf100.com

A great bunch of people!!! They have a ton of used parts also.

Give them a call, and they will send you a catalog.

By the way, you truck looks GREAT! I may be getting a 56 all to my self, and my Hubby is getting rid of the 55 in favor of a 55 Panel. Hope you won't mind if I ask you some questions about your truck, such as the Chop top!! That looks awesome!!!

Dustin, The electric wiper motor and triangular mounting bracket are the same on 1956-1960 trucks. You can probably find them cheap on the '57-'60 trucks because nobody wants that series.

Thanks.

I finished up my new steering wheel for it today. I used a hub cap center to make the horn button.
