That looks like a mid 70s WF with a Murray made frame. Its cool that you have the frame tank. Nice bike made in the USA. Check craigslist for a Murray chain guard of that vintage.

I thought it was a 59 when I got it, but I looked up the serial number and it appears to be a Murray built in 1960.
 
This one has a "skip tooth" sprocket. Does anyone know if that is factory?
Unlikely at that late a date. If the chain links are all the same length, it's home made. If the links have longer outer plates, it's a real 1" pitch set from an older bike.

edit: ...shorter outer plates... :blush:

It doesn't appear to be home made, so apparently the sprocket, chain, and rear wheel is off an older bike. I like it, so I'll probably leave it. Thank you.
 
Well I think I got her about done. What do you think?
