Great looking pump Mike! The only thing I can say DB is you have got a lot of years of gas pump knowledge to figure that out. That's some history on that pump. It has seen a lot of changes over the years and it's a survivor for sure. Don't just push it in the corner. Let's see it lighted with a globe on it! Get to work on it.

I see 3 different WILSHIRE Tombstone decals [Light Green, Blue & White main body colors]. The RIO GRANDE MOST Likely was CRACKED Gasoline. I don't see any ETHYL letters/decals, so am guessing it was used for REGULAR.

Amazing DB! This is very interesting! I sure would love to see some examples of restored pumps in these brands or some vintage pictures. Which one was most likely the original for this 40? It might inspire me to restore it to the original West coast brand.

first image I could find of the Rio Grande Cracked Gasoline, pretty cool. That would make a nice pump but getting repop globe lenses may prove to be difficult. I will double check but I believe this might be the first decal on the door.
