Hello, this is my first post!

My 75 C20 is missing windshield washer hoses, nozzles and fluid reservoir.  I've purchased all replacement parts but I have some questions.  It's hard to tell where the hoses should be routed and where the nozzles go (on the hood?), and the 1973-75 replacement washer fluid jar I got from   has no screw holes or mounting points...I think I'm missing a bracket.

Any photos, links, suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

If you bought the period correct washer bottle then you need to have the correct fender which has the v shaped opening to hold the bottle. If you have an aftermarket or replacement fender you will need to use a later model bottle.

Thanks VileZambonie.  Where should the v-shaped opening be?..and on which fender?  Apologies for dumb questions...lots of stuff missing from this truck.

Thanks Rapid Roy!  I'm in Los Angeles.  Those pictures are exactly what I needed.  That's the same fluid reservoir I have, but my fender must've been changed in the last 42 years (not surprising) because I definitely don't have that v-shaped opening in the inner fender.


Thanks again!

You're welcome. Glad to help. Seems like you may need to fab a bracket from some small metal rod and mount in the same area if you want. If your fender is solid in that area, if you have the right tools and the nerve, haha, you could cut out for the bottle. That would be a little bit of work.
If you need anymore info, let me know.
Good luck.

I purchased this truck 2 years ago from a man that said it had been stored since 1991 and was made road ready. It was his grandfathers truck. Mostly original except for a few minor parts replacement. Tires, wheels, recovered bench folding back seat, rear bumper and maybe a few minor things. Trying to keep it as original as possible. Just recently had to replace original radiator (brass/copper) with aluminum. It was too old to try to have re-cored.

Forgot...New headliner. Not of original material cause that material was too expensive, Besides, how often do you really look at headliner unless it is falling down lol.

My 74 K5 is all GM body wise except fenders. Also Alum rad. Always watching for correct fenders but.

Even stored from 91 it must have been taken care of previous. Nice.
