All of mine are the ‘short F’ version. Mine are 1945, 1947 and 1950. Last edited by Speedracer; Thu Mar 26 2020 11:22 PM. -Steve B.

This was the first pump I restored in 1988. Everything but the decal & globe & hose was all original including the rubber. The hose was a new pump hose, not farm pump hose. A $25.00 A-38 in the bed.....the good old days !!!!! Veeder Root Rebuilds.....since 1987 Veeder Root Identification CD Gas Pump Clock Repair jkyocom@bellsouth.net
