After doing some more research, I am pretty confidant I want to restore my 1950 Tok 39 tall to a D-X gas pump. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of D-X pump photos, I'm mainly looking for late 40s-early 50s. I would love to see any pump or station photos if anyone wouldn't mind sharing from their collection.

Thanks!

Ben

Here’s a pair of Erie 748’s I did in DX a few years ago. Can’t find a closer pic of the white one. The first pic of the Boron pump had the wrong globe on it. The pic of the pair has everything period correct.

My dad had a thing for DX. Most of the pumps he restored were turned into DXs.

Here is the one he gave me to use as a night light outside my garage.

Pump looks like it is dated 1950 but don’t know if it was restored “period correct “

That station in Cassville MO is only a few miles from me. It has been sort of restored and still has the sign and two pumps out front but they aren’t the ones in this picture. I never realized that the sign was once neon.
