wiper motors-early g503

Post by John D »

I stripped a 1941 chev cargo model and each of the windshield wiper motors had two push pull switches instead of one. Why does it have two?

Hi John,
as far as I know, the second switch is the speed control
1941 Triumph 5sw
1941 Willys MB Slat Grill
1942 Chevy G506 Dump
1961 Land Rover Series 2A

Always looking out for N.O.S. G506 parts

Thanks for the reply. I guess I have the type with no speed control on my 44 chev(it has a single push-pull on-off button). Maybe it was a change that happened between 41 and 44.

Hello John,
I havent looked in the books to verify this answer, but my guess would be that the change took place around 1941 or 42.
Just a guess!
