64 Econoline Windshield Washer system

Good Morning, I was wondering if anyone can tell me for sure whether or not these washer squirters are original on my 64 econo. If so, what operates them. There are hoses in the cab but don't go anywhere. I thought it may have had a foot actuated pump with maybe a washer bag but don't see anything else there. Thanks, Don

I have a 64, with the same jets by the look of it. The pipes go to to a foot pump mounted on the floor near your left foot, and the washer bottle is a large black plastic one mounted next to the heater under the dash. That is what mine has anyway.

The bottle on a 64 should be on the passenger side vent or blockoff plate. The foot pump is by the high beam switch.

I was puzzled because I didn't see any remnants of a foot pump or reservoir and I have a weird hole drilled in the front edge of my roof on the left side (see pic). When I return to my shop this morning I'll take a closer look at my truck. Thanks, D

Sy, I know it's probably alot to ask but is it possible to see a pic. of the bottle and foot pump. I do not see any spot in my floor for a pump or any spot a bottle would have been. Thanks for your help. Don

This maybe be of interest, I see the bracket on the vent cover on this piece on ebay

OK, managed to take a couple of piccies for you today. Here you go:

Waher pump next to the headlight foot switch


Water bottle attached to bracket on vent


Hope these help.

THANK YOU! I definitely owe you one. After viewing the auction G-Man referenced and viewing your pictures I realize I do not have this pump set up. My truck has a passenger vent delete plate & there isnt any holes or appears to ever had any where your foot pump is located. Is it possible it never had squirters from the factory. I also have one hole drilled in the roof above the left side of the windshield. Without a passenger vent, where would the bottle have been? Maybe someone added those nozzles by the wipers. Ck. out the pics of the passenger vent plate and firewall pad on my truck. Your opinions are very appreciated. Thanks again, Don
