I am looking for a complete windshield wiper setup for my '62 Meteor.
Several years ago, I removed my wiper system, and replaced it with a cable-driven street rod setup, which never has worked right. I am looking to go back to stock.
Ideally, I want to get: wiper motor, switch, linkage, wiper "posts" (the part that sticks up through the cowl), and the actual wiper blades.
Anyone have a parts car that could donate these items?

I've found most of this stuff.
I am still looking for a good set of wiper arms, on which the spring is still good and strong!

Autozone and Discount Auto carry replacement arms. I bought a set it was a perfect match. Price was very reasonable

I think I found it: ANCO AN4103.
Thanks for the suggestion!

I found everything I needed, including the clips for the wiper linkage, and the wipers are working again.
The only thing I feel bad about is that we couldn't get the wiring to work (no continuity between the wires going into the firewall and those exiting by the wiper switch) ... so we ran a complete set of redundant wires. Not a very elegant solution; it's pretty redneck. But I was in a hurry.
Works like a charm.
And, oddly enough, I could swear I had gone to the street rod wipers because the linkage on the originals interfered with the clutch linkage, but actually they do not. So ... I have no idea what I was thinking.
