Huffy bikes are the # 3 bike in America and still in business. It will handle the abuse
To tell you the truth I am a car guy and this is another hobby
And nobody wants an opinion from a guy who is ridiculous and a moron and you did not answer my question!!!
Ah, yes. I'm not trying to be mean and intentionally not answer your question - I just had no idea, and didn't think it likely that anyone else would either. I was simply making a descriptive statement - I would be surprised if anyone here cares enough about huffy bikes to know anything about the serial numbers. This is because Huffy has nearly always catered to the low-end market, Wal-Mart type bikes. Which isn't to say that they don't work.
But lots of people in C&V are interested in Vintage Schwinns and Treks because the bikes had reputation for good workmanship. Huffy not so much.
Anyway, Tom Stormcrowe provided information that does indeed surprise me. And perhaps helps you to answer your question.

Huffy Serial Numbers
Determining a Huffy's age requires two steps:
- The last digit of the year of manufacture can be determined by the first digit of the serial number.
- Then you have to look for other characteristics to determine the decade of manufacture.
Example:
Your serial number starts with "5"
Your cycle has 26 x 1.75 tires
Your cycle has a built in tank
This would be a cycle manufactured in 1965
