I know they used to make chrome wiper motors for our trucks and they used to make covers also but I cannot find any. Anyone know where I can find one?
Does anyone have a custom washer bottle? I was thinking a nice stainless steel one or something as I'm pimping out my engine compartment....

Maybe pugsy can make you some :P
-
I was all excited by the title thinking i could pawn some of my crap / junk off on you :D!!
I am not a J.C. Whitney fan but I think they still sell chrome wiper motors. Not sure if they have them for our trucks though.

VileZ, I found these and think it might work I was going to try it myself I know its for a later model but it looks good. Latemodel Restoration Supply.

Can't you have yours chrome'd?
-
i do not think it can be done ......well it can but really expensive that's not worth it ----since it's aplastic bottle/jug.

I saw those and was thinking it might be too big especially because my ignition module is mounted on the insside of the left fender. If you get one and put it in I'd like to see pix. I still can't believe I can't find a crack daddy wiper motor or cover anymore :( They're so ugly on these trucks... I'll figure something out I guess

Here ya go I found this pic I don't know who's it is but it looks "blingy".
-
to who ever that truck is......well ....... NICE LOOKING ENGINE SET-UP! I LIKE IT!
-
lol, Vile, you are saying it's ugly but you want it? anyhow, i didn't know you could ever get a whole wiper motor in chrome. i thought they were all covers. that late-model resto tank should work, with a little modification. you should be able to relocate your ignition module...just gotta extend some wires...it'd be worth it to get a little more washer bottle capacity and eliminate one of the parts you are searching for, right?

I figured out another washer bottle setup. Will post pix when it's in. I hate the look of the OEM wiper motor was what i was saying. They're ugly. :o They used to make them with the chrome motor cover and the chrome plastic cover. There also used to be a chrome bracket that covered the entire motor but I haven't seen them since I was just out of high school... So I guess I'm just gonna make a nice cover or something out of some stainless.

Well I'am sure it'll be pretty crafty can't wait to see .Figure out how to produce some they might just be good sellers.
-
oh i got ya man...yea, they were definitely "function over form", huh?

Years ago I had THE custom washer fluid container. I was driving a rust bucket '59 Fleetwood that had a stock humongous glass peanut butter jar like washer reservoir that I would put goldfish in just to screw with my mechanic. If I ever find that pic I'll post it.
