Here is what a Bennett 77 looks like (unfortunately not mine). This one has the four ad glass top.

I really like that Matt! I could buy the repo faces and do that. Then keep searching for originals and may get lucky one day and find a set. What kind of pump is that Shell?

Matt, Your just saying to do that to the faces but leave the rest of the pump alone correct? Don't do the same to the pump?

Matt is right, original face bezels are extremely tough to find. I would do as he suggests, buy repops from Park Drive Garage "Gas Pump Heaven" and "antique them". Go to the Old Gas home page, click on PARTS and click on their link. Brady

I still don't know yet John. I was going to maybe travel north to see John to buy some bezels for the Mobil Bennett 77 pump tomorrow. But I don't know with what the weather is going to do. Not as much here as up north with the ice storm possible. I was going to call you today to see about stopping by. Let me know if your free this week before you leave.
