Don't know exactly what I'm going to do with it .... but for now just going to look at it.

Cool...Congratulations.

Awesome!! Congratulations!!!
I can't wait for the day I get to say that!!

Really nice shape too, maybe throw a globe on there?

That 300 is in great shape !!

Thanks you guys... I would like to put a globe on it but I could probably only afford a repro one. I don't know anything about pumps but I think that the sign and everything is original and would almost hate to put a globe on it that's not legit... Guess I'll have to break down and get edumacated before I mess with it

Hi Tom, Most of the Texaco silver pumps were Sky Chief. The Fire Chief sign does look original from what I can see. Date Looks like a 9-40 maybe? IMO I would leave it in the original color .Clean it up a bit and enjoy. Good luck and keep us posted, Brian

I would also leave it the way it is. Nice find! I remember how excited I was to get my first pump. Enjoy, Tim.

Congrats on your first pump. Put a Skychief sign and globe on it and call it done. It's too nice to restore.

Bob is right! That pump has nice enough paint to leave as is! Put the Skychief plates on it and a globe, and you are done!
Don't be afraid of using a repop until your budget says otherwise! It will look great!

Congrat's. Enjoy.

Now go make room for more.

I was going to add that before, one Pump leads to another pump that leads to many pumps! LOL

Lol. Been there done that with cans for a while. I agree with you guys though, I won't mess with the finish at all. Will probably replace the missing pieces here and there, and swap the signs and add a globe. I can't wait to light it up!

Great pump!! Good advice so far, enjoy it!

Nice score!!! Congrats, enjoy it!!!

Looks great congrats!

Just a small piece of advice from someone that has owned over 200 gas pumps. Your pump looks great sitting inside of your house, but unless you removed the pump and meter, they contain at least one gallon of the worse smelling gasoline you have ever smelled, or as a friend of mine said "smelt." Just one slightly turn of the belt will release that old gasoline on your floor.

Thanks very much for the info Jack. It's been gutted and it's in my garage , but I never thought about the fact that they could contain some nasty stuff. Good to know for next time. Did I just say next time? haha . Thanks for the link also

Nice!...I wouldn't put a globe on it though.
That would be too much and take away from it's lighted face.

Nice patina! Good find!
Just got my first pump a few weeks back. The paint on yours looks good. Mine was painted over with a brush over the years, so need new paint. The globe would really add to it! Have fun..

mine actually was painted with a brush in some areas too. I'm going to leave it tho...
