Default Electric Wiper switch to replace 1941 Pickup original switch

Is anyone selling an electric wiper switch that looks like and can fit in the same hole as the original switch on a 1941 Ford 1/2 ton Pickup? Does the 1953 - 56 F100 wiper switch fit?

I know many of you have replaced your vacuum wipers with electric, so I am thinking this has to be something someone has done. If you came up with your own home baked solution, what switch did you use and what about the knob?

I'd like a stock look if possible.

Thanks,

By any chance do you have a New Port Engineering kit? They have an adapter to use the stock knob.

In my 40 convertible I used a small pull on/push off switch that fit into the original hole . Made a bezel from the original switch mechanism and put an original type knob on the shaft.
It’s only a single speed motor.

I used the switch that came with my 2 speed wiper kit. I used the antena hole for the switch, it's handy and fills the hole. Al
