When did huffman come out with the schwinn like spring fork. I thought it was late 40s but ran across a long tank bike with it. Was this springer original equipment or was it added?

There is a picture of your bike with a springer on page #114 of the Huffman book by John Polizzi. Chain guard is different.
Year not given. The model # says: Deluxe Special Model No. 41 S F.

That looks original to your bike. Huffman introduced their "Gliding Ride" spring fork in 1941.

I was also skeptical because the fork is black and doesn't match the frame color. As you can see the rack is also black. I Also saw an earlier dayton with a spring front and three gill tank. Didn't get a great look as it was packed in with other bikes.

That would have been the bike to get! The fork may have been replaced on the other one and I don't believe the rack is correct for that bike.

I went back and got the dayton and got a better picture of the huffman headlight.
