My truck's got a pair of nozzles on the hood, and a "T" connector between them under the hood, but no other components of a washer unit. What am I missing (besides pretty much everything)?

There's two types of w/s washers...one is electric, one is manual.
The manual type has a foot pump, usually mounted near the left kick panel
There are two types of electric washers...one has a foot pump, the other has a button on the left side of the dash.
The bag hangs from the left fender apron on two hooks, the motor is mounted separately, just ahead of the bag.
The bag has a nipple on the bottom, a hose goes from it to the pump. Then two hoses lead from the pump to the washer jets.
The parts have been reproduced. The bag is the same as 1961/64 Galaxies, the pump was used on most of the 1961/64 cars, 1965/66 Mustangs, and 1965/67 T-Birds.
Don't laugh...if you need the manual type, Studebaker trucks used the sameexact one...except the bag says STUDEBAKER on it.
These kits ARE STILL available from Studie parts vendors like Studebaker Int'l in Greenfield, Indiana, and SASCO, located in South Bend.
EDIT: I tried to find the part number in the Studebaker Chassis Parts Catalog, but it's not there...it's in the Body Parts Catalog and I haven't a klew where it is (I'm kinda rusty using these catalogs, one doesn't get too many calls for Studie parts on FTE).
LOL, I went to the local napa and picked up a universal washer for $20.. it works GREAT with my little black push button. Had to change out my bag for a box though. The bag had many holes & wouldn't hold water...
