A friend of mine has this tank. I did a lil searching and didn’t come up with much as far as what model bike it went on. Found a few close, but not quite the same. Any ideas? I’m guessing ‘60s?

Appreciate any input!
 
I've never seen that one, but I think it might be from a girls bike.
Would be a good one to build a frame around.
I thought girls bike too. But held it up to a bike and the hole for the head tube is the proper angle for a boys. Possibly a flightliner esque frame? There’s more markings from shelve wear than a frame, so it’s hard to tell. I dig that the lenses are in tact
 
My guess would be a ladies Flightliner.
 
J C Higgins makes it 1963 and/or earlier, and the Mainliner in that last pic is a Huffy made frame. If you're looking for a bike for that tank. Any batteries in the tank, may have a date stamp?
