83 C10 Windshield Washer Pump Question

OK,
I know this has been talked about before but I still can't find an answer to my problem. I have an 83 C10. Windshield washer pump doesn't work. I have 14 volts when I push the switch. Fine there. I pulled apart the pump, not seized. fine there. What I did find was that this setup is way overly complex. It is a mechanical push pull pump that relies on about five different levers and an outdated electrical switch to actually move one lever that makes it all work. Question is this. With all of the real electric washer pumps out there, is there a simple conversion that I can pull that would simplify this whole situation and just bolt up? Say, Chevy Cavalier washer and pump? It could be from a Hyundai for all I care, but there has to be a much simpler solution to this problem than what I have. I find it really hard to believe I have to replace this huge unit on top of my wiper motor just to get the wiper pump to work. Thoughts, ideas? I'm open to anything.
