As some have come to find out the power steering reservoir is long gone from GM parts shelves and NOS ones are commanding prices of $200 and used from $80-130.
There has been mention of using the one out of a mid 90's Chevy Astro van. there is an early where both hose connections exit on the same side and a later years where the hose barbs are located in opposite sides.
(Shown below)
I have some pictures of the mock up and how it can be installed onto the factory bracket with out drilling. This method also boosts the unit up a little bit as the reservior would be a little low on the inner fender.
The inlet/outlet barbs are angled a bit more outboard than I would like so it may require using a longer hose. The nice thing is its metal and virtually indestructible and has a common off the shelf cap.
