Windshield Wiper Transmission

I recently bought a 72 SSP off craigslist. I have been looking for a decent one for years and bought this one and had it shipped to me. The PO was less than 100% honest with me about it's condition but that's fine... I am going to work this car over. Anyway, my concern right now is to get the car to pass the Mississippi state inspection so I can have a title put in my name. Basically this is a safety only inspection with VIN certification and the car's horn and windshield wiper "transmission" is missing. The horn isn't a problem, I can get a horn easy, but this wiper situation has me wondering... Is it possible to use the wiper transmission from another car like say a Fury or Duster in this Satellite or are they specific per body style? I figure that any 71-74 B-body wiper transmission would work but it isn't very easy to find parts like this anymore so if I could broaden my search to some of the other models, that would help a lot.

Thanks for the help. I have been lurking these forums for years and I am glad I can be a part of them. I will post up some pictures and tell my story in another post, another time.

Thanks again!

I would assume all wiper motors were the same from different models.
There were two and three speed motors though.

Thank you very much for the reply. I have the wipers, and the wiper motor but the wiper transmission (or linkage between the wiper motor and the wipers themselves) is missing. So I was just curious if that linkage is the same for another model as it is for our cars.

Thanks again!

Hey Magnes,
If you can't locate one locally, shoot me a PM. I may have an extra set laying around. I will have to check my parts pile. Scott.

I now realize I probably should have posted this in a different part of this forum, my apologies on that.

Scott, Thank you very much. Another gentleman (Gary) from this site contacted me and has sold me a set from a Satellite. I should be good to go now. I really appreciate your reply. I am sure I will be needing other stuff in the future. Thanks again!

Good deal! Yes there is a parts wanted section and a parts for sale section. There are several of us here that have spare parts, or know where to get them. Good luck with your new project! Scott.
