A question that has come up here numerous times and I've always wondered about was when Ford switched from the fold-down windshield latch/hook and vacuum wipers to the electric wipers on the '69 Broncos.
I've always assumed it was in the November/December '68 timeframe but haven't gotten real scientific in trying to pin down the dates.
My truck is an early Sept. '68 build and it of course was originally vacuum wipers.
On Friday, I looked at a Jan' 69 build truck that Randy at Driven 4x4 has just purchased. It has electric wipers.
On Saturday, I was in Petaluma at Baja Broncos Unlimited and Andrew is restoring a Nov '68 build with the fold-down hardware.
So we're narrowing it down. As Viper has done with his P's and Q's thread, I'd be curious to know what members have Nov/Dec '68 builds and what kind of configuration your truck has.
