Wiper switch installed
I finally broke down and spent the 50 bucks on ebay and bought a 78-79 intemittent switch and relay. Took a whole hour if that for the total install and is well worth the effort. I recommend it to all the 67-72's that ever see the rain even a little bit. Just one of those little things that makes driving an old ford a little sweeter.

re: Wiper switch installed
It's pretty straight forward I just took a few glances at the writeup Keith has on it and I had purchased a new air cutoff tool and a dremel.... was a good excuse to buy some tools and ease my mind about it. Just measure twice and cut once and it all falls into place. And to think I have it in there and it rained all day at work and I got off and it stopped so I didn't even get to use it.

re: Wiper switch installed
I concur definitely a sweet up grade to our era trucks, I found one out of a bronco while hunting parts for motor swap(which is currently on hold).On same day found a primo factory plastic washer bottle(still white????) and the pump for it in a truck a couple of rows over. Got intermittent wiper, personally hate wipers any way , and working washer all on same upgrade work day. Bye the bye, hooking up the ground wire is a key step!!!!

Intemittent wipers is the way to go. I like the fact that you can control the time inbetween wipes. I need to find a way to do this with my Subaru .
