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!
WELCOME TO MEMBER STATUS, Old Lurker! Great Job posting pictures on your 1st Post.

Neat backyard but you have to much grass to mow. You need more stuff. Mitch
