Windshield Washer Tank

[Billingstitan]

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. If anyone happens to find a nice original one for sale please let me know!

Dredging this post up from the dead— I’m running into the same problem. Did you find a solution?

I think Dorman makes these for the aftermarket ( I know they have the later Vortec era style in the left front corner). But they're not as heavy plastic as the GM original style. Wrecking yard is your best bet on those, or catch someone parting out a truck.

Amazon has cheap complete options, and even cheap aluminum tanks that could be used.

Here’s the $20 chicken dinner model if ya know what I’m sayin’…

Pretty much all washer reservoir pumps are simple two wire units, very easy to swap whatever you like in. The reservoir was cracked in my IROC-Z and I replaced it with this slick unit from Chase Bays:

Chase Bays Compact Windshield Washer Reservoir / Intercooler Sprayer

The Chase Bays Windshield Washer Reservoir (or Intercooler / Radiator Sprayer) is for those who want to retain windshield sprayers but are sick of the massive factory piece. Whether it be to open up space or just to clean things up, a compact windshield washer tank is long overdue for car...

It's fairly expensive as things go, but high quality, good looking, and fits anywhere. Definitely smaller capacity but surprisingly I've gotten at least five windshield cleans out of it without refilling.

I wonder if the later washer tank could be used.... it fits down low right behind the core support.

It might, you'll need to pull the grille though because the later style has a bolt that is hard to access w/o doing that. Also, if getting a used one from the wrecking yard, be sure to get one that doesn't leak. I pulled one from an Escalade that still had fluid in it(replacing the bottle in the Burb cause it leaks). Because of its location on the left front corner of the truck, much impact to that area will crack it or dislodge the filler neck from the bottle.
