It's been raining off and on here so of course I was out in the more obscure junkyards looking for "new' (only 42 years old) truck parts , getting soaked in mud and ran across this : I was wondering if anyone else knows what it is ? .
Don't laugh OK ! my name is not Mike Wolfe or Frank Fritz Just thought to take a stab at it... A 39 Harley UL Flathead ? I did get lost in looking at the head fins... Well now that I took a shot and blew it. Will add Nate in reading the back pages in the old database here on the forums. I did learn what the color code for Suburban interior poop brown colors were. Wicker Brown and Pecan Brown -- Shot the codes off to an Automotive paint specialist site---- And they after entering the code info said they came up with "Blue" Question ? Who ....Blue it ? ... Nice Looking Flathead -whatever it is- Nice Find
Sadly I don't know a whole lot about Indians, when I rode American Motocycles I had a 1937 Harley EL (KnuckleHead 61") and a 1965 FL (74" low compression ex L.A.P.D.) so I used to know those backwards and forwards, I'm not a big fan of any FlatHeads because they're not good for burning up the miles as I like to do . This could be a Scout or Chief for all I know, I'm just pleased to see it not in a junkpile .
Good job on saving it Nate ! Intentions? I’m sure there are plenty restorers out there that would like to acquire
