Pic won't enlarge for me, but that looks like a 70s Huffy chainguard. I would guess late 60s early 70s bike

Agreed, it is definitely a Huffy built WF. Those chainrings are typical for the 70’s bikes.

Those frames make excellent 26” muscle bike builds.

1H in the serial number means it was Huffy built in a year ending in 1. Judging from the sticker on the seat tube and the reflector pedals, probably 1971.

That's a good ID from handyandy1100. The BMA6 decal was used beginning in 1971. The chain guard is also an indicator of late 60's early 70s, so 1971 is right on. Ratpilot is right also, that mag chain wheel came out around 1970 or so. I like it better than the Schwinn mag chain wheel.

Agreed! That chainring alone made me decide to convert mine to a muscle bike!
