Ohh man! The schwinn sprint that you have is one of the rarest Chicago swinns made! That color is called Kool Lemon and only a couple thousand of these were made out of the nearly million Chicago schwinns made.
Old schwinn heads would love to buy this from you, I would myself but I already have a 75 Kool Lemon sprint. Good snag!

Schwinn used the American one piece crank (OPC) bottom bracket standard on their Chicago built frames. Also commonly used on American BMX bikes and those cruiser bikes kids do wheelies on nowadays

You can buy an adapter to use a regular BSA threaded bottom bracket
