Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Archives of the best of past topics Best of Shop Talk Anyone have pics of Tokheim 36B's they want to show off?

I hope Jim posts them, I would LOVE to see them.
If I knew how computer stuff worked I would set up a site that allowed you to search 1) by pump model, like 36 or 850, etc. 2) allow you to search by brand, Polly, Texaco, etc.
That way if you got a Wayne 70 and wanted to see what colors looked best you could see a bunch of pictures of only wayne 70's. If you had a company that you wanted to do, say texaco and wanted to see what pumps looked best in texaco you could search that.
Not a full site, just a image gallery with thumbnails, man that would be cool. Think off all the ideas you could get, you could see 100 Polly pumps and pick the style, color, decal size, etc that you liked the best.
I came up with the idea because I have a wayne 70 that needs to get done, now this 36. I am not sure what company I want, I know I will do a seaside and a polly, but what pumps to use I have not figured out.

Here are Sky Chief's 36b images:

Great pics, guys! They really gave me the itchin to get a 36/36B. I think the movie "Pearl Harbor" had a couple of these 36's in it. This afternoon on the way to work my wife spotted 3 pumps in a driveway in a residential area along a pretty busy street. I flipped a U turn and sure enough one was a 36B about 95 % there and pretty straight. I just knew they wouldn't be for sale. I had to be to work in about 15 minutes but made a quick deal on the 36B. I probably won't sleep too well tonight just thinking about hooking on to the trailer bright and early in the morning and heading back into town. Hope Dick doesn't snag the top before I get there. LOL
Keep the pics coming in, guys.
Thanks,
Rod

Hey Dick,
I picked it up at 7 this morning. Stop by with the doughnuts, Gaspump Rob and your DROOL BUCKET.
I'll see if I can get some pics to Jim Potts to post tonight.

Edit to add Rod's images. I just love the pic with Rod, Kelton and the Dodge.
