Looking for OG parts for my bike!! Need the tank more than anything..

Here is the catalog page for your bike but have never seen one with the curved down tube and the gilled hanging tank. Probably had a non embossed pinch tank.

as for the 'gilled tank' depicted.....I am going to go with artist rendering. there are many such 'errors' in Schwinn ads. the worst was a clamp tank(1940/1) with hanging straps! although I think a 'bc' style 'ranger'(paint scheme) tank was found recently at one of the meets. it had gills instead of the two half circle sound holes on the bottom. extremely rare!

Probably built like this (assuming it was equipped). Inspect the frame for tank scars to see what tank it might have had.

Tank and light is gonna be pricey and hard to find. I’d find fenders for it first and then see if you want to put the 1k plus into it to get it fully equipped with the rack, tank, light etc.
