I have been searching the net for just the reservoir for my power steering pump for my 75.  To date I have not been able to find one and of course I want it in chrome, there are lots on ebay and found one that looks exact and was sure it would fit but my email was returned as a no fit.  Can anyone tell me where I could find one?

You can find one attached to your ps pump...it just hasn't been chromed yet....LOL

Chances are, you'll need to have your reservoir chromed if you want one that will absolutely fit your application. You might be able to find JUST the can from a Street Rod supply place like Saches Rod Shop. (scroll to the bottom of the page) They do not show one in their catalog, but they prolly have a supplier for them. Thumbs Up

You might be better off starting with a fresh new pump versus putting together an old pump. I would box up the original pump for a backup if needed. 
Just my thought.

yes that is also an option, thinking that I might put this one as I have already put new seals and cleaned it up, into the 76 because it was leaking and then when hopefully dollar changes will buy new chrome one for my 75.  Buying new is not always an option especially when it costs me 1.41 for every us dollar.
