I am new to the forum and thought I would come here to try and find info on my older gas pump. It is not antique but the style I remember growing up. I will leave some info here and see if you guys may be able to tell me anything about this pump. I plan on working on it over the winter and it looks to have most of the parts needed to complete. Here is a shot of the tag on the pump. It looks to be a mid 80's Gilbarco trimline. I has two mech. computers but it looked like only one pump. Inerts are missing

The Trimline Series was the type pump that the first Station I ever worked at, in the mid 60s; used.. So I too, have a special affection for this Series...

Trimlines are still being sold and used worldwide...

Here is an image of mine. I've attempted to "recreate" the look of a mid 1960s; Tidewater Oil Flying A pump.




(my pump was "built around 1965" and was in service on Puget Island in the lower Columbia River until 2000. as such, the computer has been replaced to be able to total amounts dealing with gas prices over $1, so I blocked off the "extra holes" in the faceplate)

Welcome to Oldgas. Bob is correct sharing that these are still in use today. There is a bulk oil center not far from here in a small farming town,there is a old house next door and the porchs are lined with these where independent stations have closed the doors. If your a farmer and have a account they will give you one,otherwise they are not for sale.

Thanks for all the help guys. I am glad to hear I may be able to find parts as I need only a few. Do I just go to the wanted area and post an ad? I am only looking for the covers with the slots that go behind the glass and let the numbers show through. Other than that I am good.
