I have a Gilbarco gas pump Model 96C2; Ser. # 913798...

What years was this pump in service?

How does one remove the outside skins of the pump (have the fronts off)? They are attached to the castiron or forged base, that I see...But are they attached with any bolts at the top OR once the bolts are removed from the bottom, do the sides just slide out of the top?

"Door Window type handle" on side...What is the best way to remove this handle with out breaking it? Have removed the pin but the handle will not budge from the rod. Maybe this is not the original handle.

Thanks.

Jacks book says 1938 , I redid one of these pumps and yes there are 5/16 x1" long bolts in the top end that have to be removed to get the side skins off ,and they are not the easiest bolts to get to . As far as you handle question , the one I repaired had two lock cylinders to unlock and no door handles.

1st made in 1938.
ALL major pump manufacturing was diverted to manufacturing parts for the WW2 efforts. Pump manufacturing resumed after the end of war.

I do not know what it is but I am intrigued by this Gilbarco 96C2 1938 vintage gas pump.

I have completly stripped off everything except the frame works.

Will be doing the Standard Oil or (Cheveron?) color of red for the time period...I guess it was red?

Where may I find the parts that I may need to complete this restoration?

What did the decals look like?

Thanks.

Information from the G&B company about when a pump was born lacks much. It does appear that your pump was made before 1941, but the company continued to make the pump after WWII, into the early 1950s.
