Beap52 2,251 #1 Posted 6 hours ago Nothing like the slapping of vacuum wipers on a deary day. Drove the '47 Chevy to town and began to sprinkle on way home. Don't get to use the wipers much. 20260522_093425.mp4 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 78,774 #2 Posted 5 hours ago Only seen those in-person once. A friend of my Ole Man's had a cabover Freightliner with vacuum wipers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 12,086 #4 Posted 4 hours ago My 57 Chevy 210 had them. As they say, vacuun sucks. They were "adjustable" to a point for swipes per minute.... almost non existant while struggling up a long incline, and they try to beat themselves to death going on the down incline. Much worse with a worn engine that did not generate good vacuum. I do NOT miss them... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
