Hey everyone, so another quick question, because this came out of an 04 express van, the power steering resivoir is for one not with my engine, two, I know it sits below the windsheild on the driver side, what's the solution for locating like I've seen right on the accessory drive bracket? Thanks chris!!

What part of Ontario are you from?
If you are relatively close to Kenny-Upull, go there and you will find countless of gm trucks that you can get accessories from to fit your car.

Look for 243/799 heads while at it. Usually on 2007-up newer style 1500 4.8/5.3 Silverado/Sierra pick ups.
