It is probably of early 1970s vintage. Do let us know if you find any date codes on the cranks or derailleurs, and the frame serial number may help, if anyone has a Huffy database.

It's from the 1980s. Huffy used a metal dork disk throughout the 1970s and into the early 80s. The first number of the serial number after the letter prefix will be the last digit of the year, ie. 6 = 1986.
