Can anyone identify this frame?

[pro1street]

A friend of mine give me this frame awhile back to build a bike with but I never was sure of what brand it is so I thought I would see if anyone might have an answer for me,it has what looks to be these numbers and letters on the bottom bracket:MOIS W D502 47400 28 8586 they may vary from what I have here but thats the best I could make of them.Thanks!

The bars came off a 60's model Western Flyer and I finished them in a flat black because I thought it would go good with the orange grips.
Hey Yeshoney Thanks for the great looking tank I stuck with the original decals and masked them off and give it a shot of orange and like You said once the weather gets nice I'll take it for a ride.
