Description
A hidden wiper system for 1955–1959 Chevy and GMC trucks. The wiper hardware tucks out of sight, so the cowl keeps its factory look.
Features
- Two-speed operation, with a delay circuit available.
- The kit includes everything except assembly lube, arms and blades, escutcheons, and model-specific switch knobs.
- Your stock pieces will still work in place of those parts.
- Runs off the switch supplied with the system rather than a GM column switch.
Choose your option
- 2 speed
- 2 speed with delay
Fitment notes
Cross-mount master cylinders likely will not fit once this system is installed. On 1958 and 1959 Apache trucks we have had reports of slight modification being needed; email Sales@RaingearWipers.com for details.

Installation
A GM column-mounted wiper switch cannot control this system. GM switches ground the wiper motor while this system switches the positive wire, so wire in the switch that comes with the kit.
Have assembly lube, wiper arms and blades, escutcheons and a switch knob on hand before you start. Those are not in the kit, though your stock pieces will work. Escutcheons are the trim bezels that cover the pivot posts in the cowl.
