For our 65 would this be the correct bottle?

That looks very close to the washer bottle mounted on my 1964 Impala. The one I have has a paper label on it. They also made plastic bottles in later years that fit into the same bracket.
Good luck.

Some did use the OptiKleen bottles but some, like my '63 C20, used the plastic reservoirs like this.

Where does that thing mount? Anyone have a picture? What did you use for a pump? I have a 55.2 and the washer system was missing. I believe that is the same bottle I need.
Thanks

Michael - not the one for TF trucks [which was an option, so is usually "missing"] - see here for foot operated, and here, push button operated

Then that would explain why its missing, it was never there! Those diagrams look like the bottle is mounted where the voltage regulator is? If anyone has installed a washer system on a 55.2 I'd love to see pictures.

more to the center than the regulator - inboard of the wire harness grommet, just above where the e-brake rod is

The OptiKleen bottle was just used to refill the plastic jug when it was empty. My 64 Impala also has a plastic jug like what you showed.
