Ha! That's sitting still.

Try making them work when the truck's under load/acceleration.

It is why I went to electric wipers on my F15.

Drive. Let your foot off the gas. Wipers clear enough to see another 20'. Drive. Let your foot off the gas...

Thanks Bob, the pintle won’t be an issue as I have seen round bar ones and the other type with the flatter wings. I got the 3 vacuum motor should be able to get 2 good ones finger crossed.
Mike, Jordan and Bruce I can remember driving with dad as a kid in some of the old Holdens that had vacuum wipers, they would go fast when stopped and barely move when driving. But only for get the truck on the road past inspection.

Canadian production tow hooks had the round bar handles and British production had the (much more expensive to make but exactly the same function) flattened and nicely shaped handles. I don't know if they were produced in Australia or NZ in either design. There is also a completely fabricated tow hook that I think is post war British production as it seems to crop up on post war British vehicles up to about 3 tons capacity.

Not much to report, did a 1000km round trip and picked up a spare wheel carrier. Needs a bit of work but should come up ok. Won’t be restoring with a refuel body probably do a GS type tray.

And one more.

If anyone has good pictures or dimensions of the toolbox that should go next to the tyre frame, please let me know thanks.
