PSC steering pump reservoir location??
Hi, I'm about to install my PSC steering pump with remote reservoir tomorrow. There's no instructions, which isn't too big a deal, but I haven't come up with a mounting location for the reservoir. If anyone else has done this, could you tell/show me where you put the reservoir? Thanks!

PSC normally provides a steel mount for the reservior that mounts it to the brake master cylinder. On a Dodge this takes a bit of creativity and may require a trip to the parts store for a longer hose, but it works.

I'll have to take a look at that. I just got through doing the seals in the vacuum pump and installing the vacuum/power steering pump back in the truck. Then it decided to rain (again). 
I was looking at a spot between the battery and the washer fluid tank, but I think the intercooler pipe is going to get in the way of the hoses.

PSC didn't provide me with anything for mounting the reservoir beyond the one flat plate with 4 mounting holes in it that the reservoir would sit in and has a set screw to tighten it around the reservoir body. I see no way to attach the plate to the master cylinder. 
I think I figured a way to build a tower out of sheet metal that would sit on the inner fender that I could screw the flat plate to. I'm just surprised nobody else on this site has installed a PSC remote reservoir on a Dodge CTD that could share what they have learned. 
I guess I'll take some pics of what I end up with in case future people want my ideas. Maybe I can patent and mass-produce it.
