I got a free after market wiper motor from a club member and it actually works. I will have to use a toggle switch as the motor has none. My question is how do I run the wire from the terminal box to a switch under the dash and then up to the motor. What path should the wire take.

Forget wipers on a Model A. Rainex is the answer.

I would run it just about the same way as the vacuum line. Behind the dash, up the post, across the header.

I agree with mike
I would also add a fuse for protection at the spot you tap for power

On my CCPU it does not have the org. windshield frame or at least it does not have the tube for the manual wiper. I prefer the Rainex wiper solution however have also toyed with the idea of installing a single wiper.

Would it be more correct on the truck to have the outside windshield wiper motor? How much of a pain am I getting into here?

The truck was done very well but surprised there is no evidence of a wiper being mounted on it. No holes nothing.

Thanks
