1939 Pickup Wipr Motor

[V12Bill]

I am getting ready to repair and refinish the upper valance that covers the wiper motor. The motor that I have has the control switch mounted to the motor and a hole was cut through the valance to provide control of the switch. Should the control switch be mounted through a hole in the valance or was there a vacuum control switch mounted remotely in an other location? TIA

Mt wiper controls comes thru a hole in the valence.

the back seat cushion has 3 bars and 2 hinges. Thus when the seat is adjusted the back cushion follows. Mine is wrong so I can't send photos. Only recently have I seen the proper back cushion. I have a poor photo if you like. PM me.

My valence has two holes. One hole is where one of the vacuum motor rods allows turning it on (allowing the vacuum line to be open) and the other is a screw type knob that I believe regulates the amount of vacuum to get to the motor. It has been several years since I have used the motor, but that is what I remember. If you want a picture of the valence and the wiper motor, let me know.
