Man there are way too many clues for that not to be an old Chenowth.

-Style of steering bearing mount.

-Torsion design and connection point of horn braces

-Style of 'B' hoop

-Stamped steel Chenowth trans mount. (specific design.)

-location of rusted off ID tag.

Google "Chenowth 2LW." It's what I thought mine was, but it's a 2RL.

It's does look really close if not the same to the 2LW for frame what time range 70s 80s ? I like to appreciate the history of vintage things I can respect something that's been around for awhile instead of a new frame

Jimmy is right. I was preparing to write the same before I got down to Jimmy's post. Definitely a Chenowth.
