Got it completely dismantled this weekend. I got all the bolts broke loose and nothing broken. Now it is time to start bead blasting.

Thanks Dick,
I remember you telling me that in a previous post. I may get some of the reproduction ones for the Fry later on. It suprised me that the pump still works after all these years.

Good score on the Fry. I have a 117 that I am going to restore in the next year or two or three. Thanks for posting the picture of the pump torn down. It is interesting to see all the individual parts. Good luck on the restoration, please post more pictures in the future.

I am still trying to figure out what colors I would like to put back on the pump. At first I was going to go with the Orange & Blue of Gulf. I thought that would look good since the original glass cylinder I have is the blue tinted one. Now I have seen a Texaco Sky Chief done in Red and White and am kinda leaning that way.

its all a matter of what you like,but the nice thing about a red and white colors is you can change the brand on down the road.
Looking for gas,oil related clocks,especially neon and spinners .clock repair available. Mick

Red, White and the Blue cylinder sounds very patriotic to me. Of coarse I like the red, white and blue. Mike

Yeah, that may be a little two patriotic for a gas pump. I was thinking maybe a red base & top with the center skins being white. Also thought about using these lenses. Can someone tell me about the American Gasoline Co?

According to Guide to Gasoline Logos American Oil Co. of Dallas, TX. was founded in 1910 and used that logo in to the 1930s until it was purchased by Pan-Am
