Hey here is a good basis for a build. a Huffy frame made sometime before the Korean War
therefore a 1940's-50's light weight but sturdy base for a pair of 26"X2.125 alloy rims, laced with stainless steel 12ga spoke's single speed coaster brake and fitted with white walled Balloon Tires, Full Fender's were an option in these Art Deco Examples of the Mid Centruy facination with Motor Bike's ...often a Mock Tank was affixed containing an electrical device to promote a Cool Fool's Fantasy
Huffy is the nick name for the "Dime Store" bike's that appeared after the second world war. During the war Huffman supplied our troops with great people powered transport, carrying the messages too private to transmit over open lines.. Schwinn's shared the Roads with Huffman's
I got me a nearly Extinct (Dial a Ride) HUFFMAN frame only, and it is quite clean. I shaved it with my pocket knife in about an hour. It had two coats of paint: cream for the base and red trim. .Purple over that, with some bullet hole decals randomly placed about the frame. it was"bare".Price $30.00
I sold my Murray cruiser last summer because I had no use for a one speed beach cruiser. I sold it for $30 as well
My present bike frames would loose value if I put RAW to them
NOISE and Black Smoke followed by flying gravel and Road Rashes are still some of the healthy Kicks we can freely do. I have some example photos of basic frame Huffman's alias Dayton, alias Firestone alias 10 or more versions thru the years. this style of frame had a Patent filed with the U.S )Pat. office Pre War
Perhaps I need to explore the serial number clearly readable ..it has an opposing number as well.
Huffman serial number only had two letters that could be traced "H" and "D" d for dayton , an early version of the huffman ,1938-1948 ,all other Huffman frames will display " H" so we know its a real live Huffman that all we know a number similar to this fram appears in a reaserh forum
Mines says 8HO12234 his 8H013431 = 1948 Huffman
