Model 1000F ID help?

[Midwestzest]

Hi folks,

Been running circles trying to figure this out the last few days. You'd think what I have is enough information, but I've had no luck. This was probably my dad's bike from the 1960s or early 1970s. No idea if it was purchased new - looks to have been completely repainted at some point? Mesinger seat, Sears "Heavy Duty" Tires, and what seems to me like a sears typical Model and Serial Number plate underneath. Any ideas as to what it actually is?

Many Thanks,

Thanks so much - no wonder I was having trouble. So modded to look muscle-y?

1952 going by your serial number. Bikes modded to be muscle bikes were called pig bikes. That seat looks fairly old and uncommon, and in decent shape. Just straighten the fork and your set!
