Somebody ought to be able to make you one.

This may be a small photo but I'm guessing this is the one you want.

That's the one. I talked to a graphics designer and he said it was $$$ to do. I think Mike Slama has a similar one, but not with the Ethyl. Anyone making one or able too? I don't want to get crossways with Copyright laws.....

I can't help you Alex, but have you or anyone else every seen the dark ad glass around these days ? Notice the difference between the two ?

Alex, sent you an email

If you can get a good picture, a GOOD printing shop with the vinyl printing machine can scan it and print any size you want, I have had several done for lubesters etc. average cost was 20-30.00 each

The problem has always been tryingto find a good picture and large enough to get dimensions. Had a guy building me one with the vinyl, etc. He did the ad glass for the pump, but he lost interest in doing it.

Doug, bot sure what you mean by dark ad glass. ALso, didn't get your email.

Anyone have a decent picture of this decal??

Alex:

It looks to me that the ad glass between the two pumps is different/color? I think the sticker on the pump is 12 X 18, maybe longer for the ethyl ? I'll check for photos also.

I'll send you another email tonight....

hi Doug. I finally (duh) got what you meant by the different colors. The ad glass for the Fire Chief Ethyl is Red with White letters and the regular is White with Red Letters. I used the red with white letters on my resotration as well. Got it from an original ad glass a guy ad. The guy that was making the pump plate (decal) for me took a Fire Chief pump plate and took and ethyl decal and was putting it together, but then got another job and couldn't get him to finish it. My plan was to make a copy then put it on a magnetic sheet and just stick it onthe pump. (You know like a refridgerator magnet. look forward to your email

Doug: Got your message. I would like to get the can. Let me know if you got my reply.

Tom

I did Alex, Thanks !

So I'm thinking those red ad glasses would be a nice find.

Doug

i will take a picture of mine tonight and post them. It makes a silver pump look better. Anyone know how Texaco chose silver as a pump color??

I am only speculating on this, but a fire truck is red, an airplane at the time was polished aluminum?

Good theory...but they used silver when it was Texaco Ethyl before Sky Chief

Alex, Jim Treadway will produce anything you want. Give him a call 810-395-8929 Hope this helps

I've been on Slama to make these, he makes the regular fire chief already. He's going to do them to match the Fire Chief he already makes in water slide. If you want it done in vinyl go with T-way or Koz. Have had decals made by both and both do great work.
