Hello Fellow Bicycle Enthusiasts!
I have recently begun the process of restoring this AMF Texas Ranger (dis-assembled) and have run into a road block by way of not being able to find any historic information about it. This is my first vintage restoration, so I really don't know where to look, although I have e-mailed The National Bicycle History Archive of America, but received an auto-response that they are moving and will get back to me in the future.
At this point I believe it is late 50's/early 60's, but I'm unable to determine:
1) What seat would have come on this bike
2) Appropriate original tire size and style (I believe middle weight, pictured tires are newer)
3) What the light controls on the tank resembled originally
Does anyone have an idea on these issues or know the best place to procure reliable information???
