I think it would be better to find somebody who has a real nice set of 39 faces. They are not that hard to find. I see them on ebay all the time.


FREEDOM oil items wanted.

Definitely find some nice old original plates for your pump. No one makes any decals for these old plates, they make complete reproduction faces.

Well, not wanting to ever give out the wrong information, I grabbed my Gas Pump Heaven catalog and finally found what you are refering to! My apologies, as I have been thru that catalog numerous times and never realized they made such a thing!
Good luck with your project and I would sure be interested in hearing how the product worked out and if it was satisfactory for the application? A before and after picture would be great if you have the time?---Thanks--KEVIN

I bought some from Vic's 66 a few years back. I used them on the face plate that is up against the wall so it isn't really seen. The ones I got were not decals but rather stickers with a clear backing. Even though I cut them out with an Exacto knife you can still see the clear backing up close. In other words, they look like stickers.

I'm with Ryan on this one. Nice original porcelain faces are pretty easy to find for Tokheim 39's and reasonably priced.
