Scott... your not wrong there... early rams were cast aluminium but the 1950's brought the vacuum formed technology and subsequently Golden Fleece developed these light up rams. Some original cast rams go up to $1k... have seen original light up rams go for $800 ... just depends on the condition of course.

I rarely use the cast ones as they are awkward to get mounted plus the pump becomes so top heavy and hard to move around. I've finished one 50's pump early last month I'll dig up the pics and put on..

cheers

Here are the pics of my Wayne AS70 Diesoline version that runs the cast alloy ram in lieu of the light up version... As it was a diesel pumping pump, the majority would not be lighted up as they had these pumps down the side of the petrol station... the light up pumps were mostly the standard & super pumps that the majority of the public would use.

One bid probably... it ends up waaaaaaay over my head and had to cut a section of a roof truss to fit it in the garage once I finished it.

cheers
