I like it ! Sure looks like a Huffy Thunder Trail copy, check out lopo68's 1978 Thunder Trail in the Fresh Finds forum. Frame is different, but the styling is spot-on.

My cousin had a thunder trail when we where younger, i always thought it was the coolest bike back then. Thats probably what tempted me buy this heap (;

Looks like Schwinn bars and an Ashtabula neck. could have come on it but I don't think so.

Research C. Itoh
I have a road bike that has stainless tubes and al cluster lugs. Quite a unique one, but not the lightweight stainless of today's standards. Is Japanese made. I was told made by Bridgetone.
