I am looking for some ideas as to how to correctly restore a Tokheim 39 pump as a UNION 76 pump. Color scheme? I do have a set of UNION 76 gasoline 11.5" round signs and a pair of CONTAINS LEAD signs. This pump has ad glass on front and rear only. What should that read? Globe on top? Looking for any pictures. Thanks, Jim PS still trying to figure out how to attach pictures.

My very first gas pumps was a Tokheim 39 from a Union 76 station.
The color scheme was the exact same as on this Wayne 70.

Not a 39, but will give you some more to think about.

Here's my Tok39 panels before paint removal
They were red, then green, then red again. Who knows what they were originally. Each door had a dozen holes from various signs on the front. (at least 3 signs with 4 holes each)

Scott-- Thanks for sharing. Looks like you have been welding up a few holes.

Yeah, 24 holes to be exact.
I'm doing the sides in a tomato-soup red color and the doors in bisque (off white). Should be ready in a couple days. I'm 90% decided on the brand but could always change my mind.
