Default 1956 Ford F100 wiper motor rebuild

I found two companies that rebuild the wiper motors. One is Classic Wipers and the other is D & M instruments. Has anyone used either company? The price is about the same, I just want to make I go with the right one

Cool Re: 1956 Ford F100 wiper motor rebuild

There're several companies that sell them new for a reasonable price. CJ Pony Part is one.....

In my opinion, best to go with electric wipers. New Port Engineering makes conversion kits.

I installed electric wipers from New Port Engineering in my 56 F100. Could not be happier. I hate vacuum wipers! When you need them they don't have enough vacuum to work and are very unsafe with other cars moving along much faster than when this truck was new.

Are there 6 volt electric wiper systems available? (I'm talking about car rather than truck.)

I apologize, I was not clear. I have the factory electric wipers on my truck. I replaced it with an aftermarket electric motor several years back. That motor works fine BUT I want to go back to the factory original motor rather than have a new one that is different. I am doing a frame up restoration and am trying to keep it as authentic as possible. That is why I am looking for a rebuilder/restorer for my factory electric motor. I hope that clears up.

Sorry I know this is an old thread but I cannot send PM. I'm in the same boat with my 59. Did you end up having either company restore your motor? If so how did it go? Thanks
