Ok first off let me say that I’m not looking for a perfect resto on this I’m just trying to build a mock gas station island out front of my shop on 120 acres in Idaho. I’m no expert, just a lover of old gas stuff and cars trucks

That said I painted this pump in what I wanted maybe 20 years ago. I’m a mopar guy. While in nevada we had severe winds that actually blew this over with one redhead bolt in cement. It was damaged in it top and I need to fab something to fix it.

The first pic is of the pump before it was damaged. I never had a cylinder .

Once it’s bolted into the island I can straighten out the frame and I want a cylinder which I guess are acrylic or something? I need to know which one fits and which measurement gallon register to buy and who has decent prices?

I’m also doing a Dodge Plymouth vintage sign and have questions about that as well.

I’m fabricating the top portion of that as well and any suggestions are appreciated ?

I’m not sure what model this pump is. I think I new at one time but it’s been forever

Thanks. Dave

It is a tokhiem 505 , the 500 series pump. Have one and they are one of the heavies pumps, 900 lbs shipping weight. The top is cast iron and there is a lot of cast iron in this. Kind of complicated though with the preset dials and gears in there. Pictured is one that we did in general. Heavy pump and one that I can't handle anymore by myself. 12 x 27 is the size of the cylinder.

Craig, Dang, the next to last line caught my attention. I thought that I was the only guy getting to that point? I too could handle most of these alone, when I was younger, but no longer. LOL! Paul www.severngaspumps.com

First time I threw out my back was loading this exact pump in to my truck by myself. Out in the middle of a field laying on my back I had plenty of time to rethink my choice of hobbies! LOL!!
