I love rummaging through gas pump yards looking at parts and pieces. Here are a few pumps and parts I recently picked up on three separate trips to Northern Ca. Guys the pickins are getting slimmer notice the newer pumps starting to appear at my place. Stainless is starting to look really good to me LOL.
Please post/share some of your parts pumps.
Parts and pumps seen are not currently for sale

I'm jealous. Is that your storage yard, Rob? That is one gigantic speed limit sign! Yes that is my storage yard . The 55 MPH sign is attached to the back of my overloaded trailer when I haul in all those pumps LOL. The old F150 is getting tired. I hope some of you post some pictures of your junk piles and parts pumps for me to see. Or is this it? No more left????? Rob

Since you asked DB...
I have hoarded away over two hundred pumps. Rains to much in BC to leave them outside so I have them stored in 53 foot trailers. I can fit 100 pumps in one trailer. I can't get at them once they are in the their because they are 4 pumps across. I call it my retirement fund and probably won't do anything with them for at least the next 15-20 years or at least that's the plan. I've also put away over 50 ECO meters.
Here's some pictures of some of them on my car trailer.

Last few pic's. As you can see this load is of incomplete pumps but I haven't parted any of them out. I've been rounding up parts even for these. By now, I'm sure you understand why my wife thinks I'm a hoarder. She has been threatening an intervention...

Dave... that's mindblowing... the amount of pumps you have had I'm astonished how your trailer isn't shaped like a banana :-)

Dave I think you once posted that you bought about 200 pumps all from one seller. Are these the pictures from that purchase?
That Dodge truck you have must have some pretty good muscle to pull that trailer full of pumps. Good to see the older truck still going strong.

Dave pump hoarding on a 20 year plan may or may not work. Wonder how much interest the next generation will have for our pumps,they may see them as junk.
Would guess there is a lot more pump dumps that members are afraid to share due too site surfers with not so good intentions.
