The fan belt turned the water pump and 6 volt generator. The wippers were vacuum so the faster you drove the slower they went. The back bumper was a section of railroad track.Sport45 wrote:
Ever find yourself reaching with your left foot for the button to dim your headlights?
(Or worse yet, trying to use your left foot to pump water onto the windshield :))
Hate to admit, but I've done both. Of course our '83 F-100 still has the floor button for the hi-beams. The floor mounted washer pump was on an older truck I drove when I was a teenager working at a Boy Scout Camp.
I had an 86 Bronco "winter beater" a few years back with the high-beam still mounted on the floor too. Being in my early 30's gotta say that was a trip, first for me, gotta admit it took me a while to figure that one out. Totally remember crank windows though, I've never had a vehicle with them, but I remember my parents/grandparents having them when I was young. Never heard of foot pump for washer fluid though.
