68 Rupp TT500 frame numbers

#1
Does anyone have any info on frame numbers in relation to engine numbers? I know the 68 TT500 used the Tecumseh H50 65151H. But what about frame numbers in relation to engine production dates?:confused:

The numbers on the frames were just in relation to how many bikes were produced. They didn't indicate the model.

I recently had a TT500 with a late December 1968 engine, but the frame's serial was about middle of the known range for that year

I bought that engine from you back in June from the TT500 you parted out. Great engine not much wear at all. All I had to do was hone the cylinder and re-grind the valve seats.

VHT Gloss White rattle can. What I do is prime and paint each part separately with one coat, assemble and put one final coat. It still needs a final coat.
