I'm not sure what year my windshield frame is. Maybe early 50s . I have vacuum wipers and wondered if anyone had the correct vacuum line layout for thr wiper systems.

You have an M-38 windshield frame.  Whether those are M-38 wiper motors and vacuum lines or not I can't say.  Someone with an M-38 can tell you that.

That is an M-38 wiper system that is missing the vent portion. There will be diagrams over on willysmjeeps.com showing how to plumb it correctly.

Yep, looks just like the wiper motors on the M38 I had.

With those Jeeps, seems like the vent was routed to the air cleaner, but it was 30 years ago when I had that M38.

Oldpappy, you're trying to make it sound like 30 years was a long time ago.  I'm still driving my '89 YJ I bought brand new over 30 years ago.  Smile  Seems like only a couple years ago, tops.

I got socks older than that, just saying memory isn't what it once was.

Personally, I have a great memory for useless and trivial details.  I can't remember anything important, though.  Embarrassed
