+1 High ten steel, not cromoly. It was at the lighter end of the scale compared to other entry level bikes back then (I traded up from a Schwinn Continental back in 1975). The challenge is french threading. If you currently have a cottered crank, you are either going to have to look for a square taper spindle (could take a while) or buy one of the cartridge units that sell for around $50. If you got lucky and got one already converted, then you are way ahead.
