I got this today at U-Pick-It, hated to think it might end up in the crusher.
My 83 C-20 has normal wipers on it, but it looks like the spaces for the switches are identical.
Do I need to use a different wiper motor with the intermittent type switch, and what wires go where if I want to wire it in in place of my existing switch ??

I had a 79 half ton that I did the same upgrade to. Never replaced the motor just plugged in the new switch and control box? Can't recall exactly, it's been about 20 years, but I know for a fact that it was all plug and play. No splicing.

Ditto, plug and play. I put one from an '81 in my '78. Grabbed another recently I saw too as a spare.

Thanks, guys .......
It appears this will be an easy project and should work great.
I am used to things ending up complicated and fighting me, so an easy fix is always welcomed.
