Schwinn cruiser identity help

Look Ma, No Hands!
Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me determine the year and/or model of what i have hear. According to the serial number tool it is a 72' but I'm not sure how accurate that is. Some of the parts line right up with that but obviously some things have been changed (I think), but what has me confused is the frame itself, where the top tube and down tube meet at the steering tube it looks different than the other cruisers of that era. Also the head badge seems it would be incorrect yet it is threaded so I guess its factory?

Unless this is a different model then what I have investigated so far. Thanks for the help!
 
Yes the tool says it's a 72' but that's what I'm confused on. It doesn't seem to match up with the other cruisers from 72'.
 
Your bike frame is an original Chicago Schwinn.
Built: AUGUST of 1972.

Sorry I couldn’t help more. I’m having a bit of trouble navigating this website.

Ok that's what I saw as well, I'm assuming it's just the model that makes it different. But just to show you what it is I'm looking at that is throwing me off, heres a pic of a 74' frame vs. This one, granted they are two totally different frames, the 74' frames top and bottom tubes mold into the head tube and the 72' is different. But most of the bikes I've came across have the design like the 74' as apposed to the 72's style.
