Windshield wiper linkage 79 2000

Post by barnesjtsl »

I have a 79 2000. I drive in the rain a lot and I keep getting the rust problem with the wiper linkage. I have to take it off and work it free every few monts. I bought it from a guy who let it sit in the rain for 10 years so you can imagine the problem.

My question. I want to buy another set of the wiper linkage and try and customize it a little to help keep from having this problem. Can anyone tell me what years have the same linkage that will fit on the 79 2000 so I can widen my search?

Thanks,

they are pretty much all the same except for the motor connections. 79 and newer have the bullet style connectors, while the 78 and earlier have spade type. So the motor wiring is different but the linkages are the same
