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.
