Hi all. I'm new to the forum, but not to lurking the site. My father-in-law collects & restores all manner of petroliana, and is usually very knowledgable about his collection. This pump, however, has him stumped. It is a Gilbarco, according to the faceplates, & looks in many ways like an 86. However, it is wider & has a sort of "stair stepped" top. These are pics of the pump & also the trim piece from the door. I can't find any examples online, or any mention in Vics, Gas Pump Heaven, etc. We would appreciate any help you guys could give us, & thanks in advance for helping a newbie!

Sweet, thanks for the quick responses!
Is this model rare? I can't find much at all online about it.

Getting close to "RARE" status, Un-common like the Wayne 60T.
Besides here, I'm surprised you found anything about this pump on line!
