Default Windshield Wiper Trasmission Post

So I bought '79 vette a few years back and the previous owner, for whatever reason, removed the windshield wipers. Not just the wipers, but the arms, motor and even the transmission posts. I've tried searching everywhere for them and it doesn't seem that I can buy them new anywhere. I talked to a distributor from Corvettepartsworldwide.com and he suggested Ebay, but can't find them there either. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where to find them, or if I should be searching for a different name? I included pics of where thy are supposed to go in case I'm calling them something different than what I was told.

You might want to find a Corvette junkyard since you need everything.
The motor might be found at the local parts store.
There is a part that connects to the motor and arms, I don't see that listed.


Not your year but the parts have names.

The prior owner's name was Bubba?

I guess I wasn't clear on that, but I actually have everything else to put the system back together. Got it all in the mail and went to throw it together and realized I had no way to seat the arms. So it's just the posts I'm looking for. Tried calling the local junkyard, but they have nothing. I'm gonna try your suggestion and branch out to corvette junkyards and see if somewhere will ship to me if they have it.

OK, I see you just need the posts now,,,
Here is a set from a vendor I have purchased from in the past.
Looks like 74-82 used the same transmission linkage.
Looks like washer fluid lines would need to be replaced...
It's a start for you anyways...

Unfortunately, even the parts and illustration catalog has the complete assembly only.
No pods as a separate item.
The one I posted above also comes with the wiper arms and the wiper motor paw.

Try the “C3 Parts for Sale/Wanted” section of the forum. Put in a want to buy (WTB) ad with the particulars and someone will chime in with exactly what you need.
There are a lot of great folks selling anything you can think of for the C3s there.
I buy stuff from there all the time.

cheers,
Richard
