http://www.vintagegas.com/cgi-bin/emAlbum.cgi?c=show_image;p=Pumps/Computer%20Pumps;i=0;img=AO%20Smith%20Mod-26.jpg I just came across one of these pumps - RED porclean and stainless - no signs. Great / NEW condition. Had the signes but now they are gone - still has the texaco layout of 2 close, 2 wide, 2 close holes about 18 apart. I was woundering if these were only firechief pumps - or did they use the same color for skychief? ALSO - has anyone ever seen a globe on one of these? Travis E. Towle 785-357-1004 IP: Logged |

Travis, I'd assume that the Sky Chief pump would have been silver. Not sure if that changed on these "later" pumps though. I'd go for an NOS one - def. worth getting. I've never seen one with a globe. What kind of pumps were the snakey ones? Been waiting to see them in BOTW. Wes IP: Logged |

Travis, They were known as Erie or AO Smith, salesman 48 or model 483 pumps. They came in silver/gray porcelain for Sky Chief, I know cause I have a set of doors for one. I found a Fire Chief one in the woods and the gray doors. Now I just need to find one in good shape minus the doors. Anybody got one for sale going to Dixie Gas in the spring? IP: Logged |

Oh and they did not come with globes or provisions for them from the factory. I have seen some restored with globes on ebay, and well they look like teets on a boar hog if you ask me. I prefer them original. IP: Logged |
