Any information on the pump pictured below would be greatly appreciated; I checked Jack Sim's book cover to cover and other resources and can not find it.

Thanks

I agree that it looks homemade. It looks like a 1960s or 70s pump w/ tin stuck on the outside.

The sheet metal I believe is not original to the punp, but the face plates, sides, & frame are..............hoping someone can id off the face plates and general size / structure.

If you can get a peek behind the tin front,look on the faceplate. Alot of later year pumps had the model listed in very small print at the bottom of the plate and sometimes the brand will be there too!

The pump sheet metal looks like tin for a roof? The rest, we need to see under the sheet metal.


Thanks, Phil

Went to pick up the pumps and located the ID plate, they are Southwest model 80's; not listed in Jack Sims book. Will post in the wanted section to try to find original doors; neat pumps with side sight glass and globe holders on the top.
