I have a short top and I am wanting to convert it over to a tall top if you have one and either want to trade my short top for it or sell one outright please let me know.
I am always looking for anything Texaco or Oklahoma oil and gas company's, also I am a newbie at seeking globes.

That one is a good deal if it stays where it is. You should scoop it up.

You know it probably was a little high, but I've seen them higher and it seems like the price of nice pumps is on the rise?

Well since this is the first time I have looked for one I dont really keep up with the price of them. I am sure another one will pop up soon. I guess they dont make any repops of them?

I've done a fair amount of talking with people about reproducing Bennett 541 & Wayne 70 doors. To stamp these out of metal, the dye will cost low six figures. (Going to be a long time before you make your investment back) Therefore fiberglass is the most economical way to go. Even then the doors are still going to be around $200. Ryan and others can sell you a real part cheaper than that (if they have one being the real key) And I know there are others out there making stuff out of ABS.
Its been my very limited experience with fiberglass repros that not many people want fiberglass parts on thier pumps. I've done National A38 tops for a national retailer. Not exactly flying off the shelves. You'd think there would be more demand for it but it just seem like there isn't. Either that or maybe I picked the worng parts to start with. Cuz I agree, script top or add top 80's are cool and I'd like to have one myself.

Yeah I knew it was big money for the dye`s to be made but there has got to be a more cost effective way to do it.Hmm I might just have to figure this out!
