Regarding colors...
The attached ads are from mid '60's magazines. The pumps look like my Wayne Model 1.
Is there any reason to believe that mine could not have been dressed out this way or that these pumps are different from mine?

Pumps were Special Ordered by GULF. IF yours looks different, after it was pulled out of Retail Sales & given/loaned to a Commercial/Farming operation to pump Fuel. Re-branded by distributor.

I agree with Mark... White panels, Blue or Black base.Then a couple of good or no nox plates like on the pic above.

Is there any reason to believe that mine could not have been dressed out this way or that these pumps are different from mine? ...while similar, the pumps in the ads are earlier (and taller) than yours, and are different models...the last photo of the unrestored No-Nox pump is what your pump would look like with all four door panels...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Thanks, Gents. VERY helpful. My pump looks exactly like the pic posted by Keystone Gas Man (except that mine was painted orange). I think I will go with white scheme. The attached repro signs were the closest I could find to replace the ones missing on mine - would either be appropriate? Are there better options out there (these were the only ones I could find Googling).
Is Gas Pump Heaven operated by one of you folks?

...geez, nothing against Gas Pump Heaven - but these pump signs are so common (and relatively affordable), that if I were going to the trouble to restore one of these pumps, I'd use originals...
...to answer your question: either sign would be appropriate...and I doubt there are repros cheaper than those offered by GPH...

I again agree with Mark..I prefer originals...but if you don't mind repros either would be correct for that pump....You can also use gulftane or gulf diesel ... with the gulf emblem..Those pumps were mid 60s to mid 70s I used them a lot...very cool pump..When your finished with her please post pics..And good luck ! PS: IMO Please don't add a globe to it...those chrome tops are hard to come by in good shape.
