For the first time since I have owned this truck (7 years):crazy: , my windshield can be sprayed with washer fluid!!!:metal:

Here are some pics of the conversion....works great!!! Beats trying to get under the dash to fix the sprayer...

what did you use never seen a pump like that before and did you get it hooked up to the switch ok?

Re: finally--have washer operation..*pics*
 

It is the stock 71 truck bottle, with a late 70s/early 80s german washer pump (from an Audi or BMW...can't quite remember). The pump was kinda 'snuggled' (did I just use that word!!) into the original bottle/reservoir,
Yes i got it working with the chevy switch (washer/wiper combo) per the instructions provided in the other thread (link in post above)....

I used an old 14mm socket, heated with a propane torch, then pushed into the trucks reservoir to make the hole for the pump. No leaks and works great....way more volume than the original.....
