Can't help you with year of dana, but it's a cool find.

The bike itself looks like a 60's Rollfast.

Here's some info, I don't know how accurate the dates are though.

The Dana transmissions were late sixties & early seventies.

It might not be the cables. The shifter rotates a plastic shaft connected to three spring loaded cams that shifts the gears. You might want to take it apart to clean and grease everything.
This is what the 40+ year old grease looks like!

Yea, what he said.
I think we all learned a bit about rebuilding these when TRM built raceliner/dragking.
