In later years, GM integrated the washer pump with the wiper motor,
not real easy to use here.
I think F**ds still use independent washer motors, similar to the
one at the FLAPS. It won't take much of a pump to pump from the
back of the cab to the windshield.
Don't know of any off hand that have an integrated reservoir and
pump, and if they did, it probably wouldn't fit where you want it.
Just about any kind of plastic bottle or jug that fits your space
can be used as a reservoir. Just punch a hole in the cap and run
a suction hose into the bottle. Make sure to vent the bottle.
