Did they make them in narrow and wide versions? Or just wide? Also did they have a clockface version? If so did they have a narrow body without hips and a clock mech?

Can't sleep 'till you know!

Does anyone know? I can't sleep until I know!

You must have had a restless night last night!

ROTF,LMAO
Buy the BOOK.

Book shows the 60a in a narrow body ,with computer,no hips.only version shown! Is that the only one? Maybe and maybe not! Night,night!

NO IT DON'T

Ok the text says that! So book is wrong?

I have a wide clock with no hips. 866?

The book is wrong! Shows a wide body pump. The text says narrow body. lol

I would bet they made them.

I have the dang book and it says narrow but shows wide. I've seen wide body version in person but never a narrow body without hips. Oilmanpat is yours a clock version wide shoulders with no hips?

Just because a pump is Not in the book doesn't mean that it wasn't made.
petropumps restored a Hand Operated Wayne 800, it's not pictured in book. Other models were Hand Pump Only, why not the 800?
According to the Book;
Why don't we see/find Tok. 34's w/ Clock Face, Twin? Tok. Models Before & After were.
Why did Bowser wait till the Fig. 310 to do a twin?

You told me to get the book. Half my stuff isn't in the book so I know the book is pretty useless. That's why I asked you dick!

Quit making all those Heinz 57"pumps".
Ya can't breed Dogs w/ pigs, even Morgan Can't sell let alone Rent pigs. So WHY breed them?

I'll put a globe on anything and call it a pump! You know this Dick! We texans make due! It's too hot to be worrying about the book!!

Yes it is.

Does your tag say 866 or 60-c or 866-c or what?

Most pump companies would let you Special Order a pump in any configuration that was available at the time for a small extra fee. Tidewater had exclusive use of the Wayne 60-T. ie: Special Design Ordered.
Even through Wayne had some tie-in w/ Veeder-Root, they could sell a Clock face [866] pump cheaper than a VR. VR charged all companies for using the VR calculating mech. in their pumps.

Wayne 60's & 866's were made;
Wide or Narrow Base.
W/ or W/O Hips.
W/ or W/O Showcase.
W/ or W/O Hand Pump.
W/ or W/O Hole for Hand Crank of Rotary Pump.
Only the Wide had the Fancy Globe Holder.

My 60-A measures 19" from outside of shoulder to outside. Just like my regular wide 60's. The base is around 24" wide. Just like the center section of a regular 60 without the bumps for the hips.

Thanks! So there is a base out there that is for narrow shoulders and frames without hips. That's something I would like to see!

I really can't believe you call my book as being useless just because you own some pumps that are not shown in the book.

I submitted 2000 images to the publisher, they decided to use 1900 of them. Had I gone past 1965 I could have supplied almost 4000 images.

Try accumulating and sorting our all this material and not making a mistake, I can point out a couple of more mistakes that you guys have not found yet.

Back to the book being usless. Back when I was writing the second edition of the book I asked the guys on this website to send me pictures of pumps that were not in the first edition, I received about ten. Most of the guys were waiting to say, I have a pump that isn't in the book, not saying I helped in the writing of the book. I even had a guy sending me an email telling me that a picture he sent me better not be used in the book, because he did not give me permission to use it, fortunatly, I had a better picture than he sent me. Take a look at all the names I listed as helping to write the book, is your name there?

Also, what have you done to better this hobby? I spent over six month sitting at a computer writing the second edition, even longer writing the first book. It got to a point, that my wife was complaining that the only thing she saw for six month was the back of my head.

No one writes a hobby book to make money, I found that out quickly after I wrote the first book, the only thing is does is to increase your, or I should say, my ego. Meaning when I meet a person at one of the shows and they see my name tag they say "Oh, you are he guy who wrote the gas pump book."

I don't regret writing any of the four books that I have written, I am proud of the fact that not only did I enjoy this hobby, but that I did something to make it better.

BTW, if you don't want the book, send it to me, I will refund your money.

Sorry Jack. Wasn't saying the book was useless in a whole. I mean in this situation. Came across this a couple of times. Thanks for writing the book and you did a great job. No one could expect any one person to not miss a pump. Good job and can't wait for a 3rd!

Mine is an 866.

This was a Specialty pump made for FIRESTONE;

I love the 72r. Would love to have one. Now I'm guessing there isn't a narrow body without hips. Anyone have a cracked narrow base or some hipless sides?

Oh and thanks dick!

There is a narrow w/o hips.
I have a wide base made for w/o hips [base was replaced & pump was re-built w/ hips].

Would you be interested in selling it? And would you have brackets that hold the clock mech?

I had a chance to buy one of those 72Rs back in 1996. It was to funky and bought a Wayne 866 instead.

MATT!!! Killing me!

Matt, 16 years later and with the benefit of hindsight....would you still buy the Wayne 866? At the least, I'm sure you regret not buying both.

Could've, Should've, Would've IF'n we knew then what we know Now!

WE ALL should've bought more pumps/globes & Signs we couldn't afford THEN.

this is the one i had --change the base and add sides with hips--still have the old base and sides-- was found in matts back yard years ago in pleasanton ca

List items that are For Sale in For Sale Forum.

Today I still would not get the 72R. I sold the 866 I bought and not sure I would get another.

I wanna see Matt's backyard! I'm sure there is something there I'd like to buy!

You already own three pumps in my yard. The best stuff is inside.

The stuff inside is Nfs! Lol. But yeah. You have some good stuff in there! Some of my favorites!
