Well since your cap want tighten down then you need a new reservoir.

You can rebuild these also though. If the pump is good but it leaks just order the new reservoir and new O -ring kit and take it out and rebuild it.
Not that much trouble to do it takes about 30 minutes. I just did this on the 68 truck.

The top picture was the early style one then they went to the bottom picture in the 70's that's what my 71 C 10 had stock. . Doesn't matter which one unless you want 100% stock looking.
The ones with remote fill where for BB trucks but would be a nice addition. I can't say for 100% they will work on a SMB though.
Just tell them the model your working on they can pull it up for you.
