This post was updated on .

That listing is way too general as that reservoir is not correct for 1985 or '86 trucks, nor for any year diesel. The diesels take a very different reservoir and in '85 the gas engines changed to a reservoir with a connection in the bottom instead of a hose draped in via a slot at the top.

The difference is significant as the 1980 - 84 gas reservoirs take a different bracket than the 85/86 reservoirs. And the one in the listing doesn't appear to come with the bracket. So if someone wants the older-style reservoir to put in a later truck they'll have to modify the bracket.

There's a better version on the page at Documentation/Cooling Systems/COOLANT RECOVERY & WINDSHIELD WASHER RESERVOIRS.
