The above link is for a cast iron base, your pump should have the stamped steel base. I've restored a lot of Tokheim 39 short pumps (the pump that you have is a short pump) I've never seen the cast iron base from factory used on one. In my experience only the tall Tokheim 39's had cast iron bases.

Thank you. I went and looked at the base, but it was a cast iron base. Mine has the stamped steel base. I may be wrong, but from what I have read they are not interchangeable? Any ideas of what brand of pump the yellow paint in the picture is from?

Probably Shell, but it doesn't matter, once it is sandblasted, they all look alike.

Just about every oil company used a 39 at one time, Tokheim sold over 125,000 of them.

I was thinking probably Shell. I'm just trying to figure out what brand I want to make it. Hey Jack could you tell me exactly what model my pump is? I looked at your site, but I couldn't figure it out. Because of the hose exiting up high on the side and mine also having a hose retracting cable on it. It also had funny trim on the side. Like the kind you see for sale for the tall pumps. I would really appreciate your help.

The side panels are 54 1/2" and the doors are 52 1/4". I hope that helps. I appreciate your help.
