I have not posted much on here but I have done a lot of research and reading here throughout my restoration. Thank you all for your invaluable information. Also thanks to the guys who wrote "Guide to Gas Pump Restoration". What a big help in making sure I got the correct color scheme. Abou the only thing I am not sure I got correct was the globe. So if anyone can answer that for me I would be greatful! If anyone has any questions regarding a Tokheim 39 short, it is still fresh in my mind and I can answer.

Looks like you built the house just for that pump! Awesome job. The only question I can think of, "When are you bringing it over to my house? I'll be your bestest friend".

I only went with Conoco because the pump still had the plate on the door. The other side was missing. I have found it difficult to find a second one for the other side. Guess that is what I get for choosing a road less traveled.

Nice looking pump. Keep watching ebay I've seen them on there occasionally or put a add on this site in the wanted list. Somebody on here probably has one they would sell. Mitch

Every thing looks correct on that pump even the green body globe, Those green Conoco triangle pump plate are always on ebay, Just be patient and wait for a good one to come up.

Thanks for all the great comments. Not only are you guys a wealth of good info, you are also great encouragment. As for the pump plate, you guys are right, I see them on ebay often. I guess I am having a hard time swallowing $85 and up for them. Especially since lately they have been really scratched and chipped up, missing grommets, ect. The one I was watching last week went for $205 and it was pretty rough! Someone must have been desperate. Or, maybe I am just too cheap.

Mike, I don't know about that sign you are holding there but I am really digging that phone booth you got! That thing is awesome.
