1962 Heavy Duty Wasp

[Oilit]

I picked up a 1963 this weekend, needs plenty of work but complete and straight, except somebody mounted a set of middleweight tires. Also needs new decals for the chainguard, you can barely see the shadow of the originals. Somebody mentioned the Bendix front hub, which this one has and I'm wondering if the heavy duty American used the Bendix or the Union hub up front? In 1963 you could get either the Wasp or the American with heavy duty wheels, but the middleweight fork isn't quite as wide.

And @prewarmachine, looking back through this thread, I see I still owe you a better shot of that dealer decal. I'll have to dig that bike out.

No rush. I kinda forgot about that. It would be cool to see though if you do get an opportunity
