This may have been covered before or may be a stupid question but here goes anyways. I know my 85 is built on the 84 model but the only wiper switch, the one inside the steering column, I can find with pulse wipers and without tilt is for the 85. There are differences between the 84 and 85 models as far as wiper motor, washer fluid reservoir and what not goes. I just want to know if anybody has bought a switch that was for the 85 and it has worked in an 84(85). Thanks in advance for any help. Here is a link to the switch. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ECHWS6040

Looking at the pictures from NAPA and Classic, and doing a search on NAPA, I would venture to say that the NAPA WS6040 is the correct one.
You want the switch for Non Tilt and Non Intermittent wipers.

This switch replacement is a difficult task. I have done it one time. I failed several times and just replaced the steering column. Here is my most recent success. REMOVE the entire column from the truck and get comfortable at a work bench. take you time. 1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 27 | SteelSoldiers Good Luck.
I managed to replace the turn signal switch without removing the steering column completely with a little aggravation and some stiff copper ground wire that I use as a witching rod with my current job as a underground utility locator. Hopefully I can do the same replacing the wiper switch. It’s comforting to know that if I do need to remove the column, I have a wealth of knowledge to assist me in the process. I’ve learned a whole lot from this forum and look forward to learning more about these wonderful beasts
