i know the years of the pump and the years of the globe probably don't match up, but i thought they looked good together.

oh man, that's awesome! i'm starting that pump right now. is the front door hingle chromed? and yours has a globe holder, mine is ressesed into the top. what did you put on the two faceplate upper and lower pieces of medal? it's hard to see from here. can you post a closeup of the whole window? also, did you use the old window rubber gasket? mine is intact and can be used again, but if i can get a new set, i would. my pump is still wroking so i';m gonna wire it to turn on when you flip the handle lever! cna't wait. sux, it's already sold! if i ever get another, i'm keepin this pump. it's a basic, small pump, but alot of character. was your ID badge still on it. mine is and it's perfect!
