windshield wipers for 35 truck
Specialty Power Windows has a wiper kit. Suggestions on locating this assembly? Also, ground clearance on the 35 truck with fenders installed looks pretty low. I have a very steep
driveway with a drain channel that scraped the bottom (oil pan) of a Corvair I previously owned.

Installed that system in my truck build. Wiper boxes fit easily below the dash. The motor I placed in the passenger side kick panel area. In front of the door opening. Saw the idea in another build thread and works great and saved valuable space elsewhere. Did have to make a couple of brackets to mount it. Pictured in my build thread here: https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...l=1#post447228 and here: https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...l=1#post476703. I've since made covers that go into that area on both footbox sides. Also an idea from another build. Completely covers the wiper motor. Shown in this post: https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...l=1#post488707. I've since carpeted the covers.
Looks like you're a new forum member and this is your first post? Welcome! Suggest spending some time in the Hot Rod Truck build thread forum. Lots of great ideas and inspiration there.
Yes, the truck is low. But can't help you with the driveway question.

If you look at Greg’s ‘35 Hot Rod Truck build thread, I have a post about a bumper I fabricated to protect the grill (post #2 in the thread). Ground clearance can be adjusted upwards and I find I have no issues with steep driveways or speed bumps because the front tires are so close to the front of the truck. The biggest risk is running the grill into a parking curb which would be very bad for the grill and the radiator that mounts to it.
As for the wipers, my post #18 shows where I installed the wiper motor under the dash.
