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!

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!
