I think you missed the correct forum. I will move this over to the pickup forum for you.
As far as your pump is concerned I think you still can get a complete pump or a rebuild kit thru NAPA or Carquest.
Good luck

I have the same problem, but with a twist:

I bought the rebuild kit, only to find that the pump diaphragm was dry-rotted to death. The next logical step was to replace the entire pump assembly, which presented its on set of problems. First, I have a 67, which apparently has a "slightly" different design from 68-72. The pump assembly was about 1/4" longer than the original one (screw holes don't line up). Also, the original "cam" was metal, with the pump rod being nylon. The repro has nylon cam, and a metal pump rod. I can't get the metal cam to come off the wiper motor assembly, which would leave a metal-to-metal contact if I were to find a way to get the new pump to mount.

The only good thing is that I'm tearing the truck down for a resto-mod. I'll probably replace the whole wiper motor assembly in the process.
