    C1 Wiper Motors

    Has there been documentation of the wiper motors from '56-'62 having a assembly date code stamped on them?
    I have a 5044251 unit for a '59 truck that has a date code of Jun 9 '59 stamped on the cover.
    The other motors I have, Corvettes & Pass car, do not have a date code that I can find.

    I have seen a Date Stamp on the Wiper Motors in Steamboat Springs where a member had a variable date stamp and did 2 or 3 motors in I think white.

      Tony,

      I recently had my '58 wiper motor rebuilt by Capital Auto Restorations and it came back with a date stamp in black on the front of the case.

        The JG says " Date may appear in black ink"

          I bought a NOS 55 truck wiper motor on E-Bay for my 55 Corvette which is identical for the 55 and 56 Corvette . You just change the backing cover with your old one and presto you have a new motor for about $100.00 or so instead of $100's through Corvette dealers. But it had no date mark. Good used ones can be found for $25.00 or so if you 55, 56 guys need a spare.

            Thanks Guys,
            It is what I though might be the case. I believe that all the motors had the Black Ink stamp on the front cover, but the placement of the wiper motors in the corvettes over time have removed the evidences.
            The truck wiper was mounted inside the cab and was protected so it was still on the truck motor.

            As to the comments about the truck motor beinging the same as the corvette, the 59 truck motor that I have looks the same on inside as my 59 corvette motor. The only differences that I have found is the shaft that drives the oscillating shoe for the wiper plate, the type of oscillating shoe used, the rear cover mounting plate, the front cover with part number stamp and the supporting shoe that holds the rear of the motor to the fiberglass dash.

            Thanks again Guys

              Tony--
              Can't agree with your assumption that all were date stamped. I've been looking at them since 74, and have looked at too many low-mile unaltered cars that had no evidence of stamping of any kind.
              If you really want something interesting--have you seen any early 62 motors with 5444479 typed onto a white tape-like material and applied over the 5044266? I've seen several--had to have been done at manufacture!
