It might be late 50's. Can you post the serial number?

I believe I ran the numbers before and it was a 63. I could probably search the page where I determined it

Sound about right.

I remember that build.

Here's the Rusty Rebel in all her glory! This was my third and NOT my last build off! I was very happy to read all the comments on my build thread for such a simple bike. For those of you that missed my build, I started with this early 60's Firestone 500. I bought it from a yard sale years ago...

Open to offers. I know it’ll go to a good home in the RRB Community

Cool build. I’ve been mulling over modding my Firestone. Oddly enough it doesn’t have a place for a front caliper. I want to keep it original but since the tires have been replaced I figure I’ll might as well try to jazz it up a bit
