1970 Speedway Shark. It looks like the headlight mounts have been cut off your forks. The foot brake is not original. There should be a peanut style tank mounted on top of the bars. Your rear wheel is the correct wheel style the front wheel is for a 71 Speedway. Here are pictures of a couple 1970 Speedway Sharks with the original tank and headlight.

cool, I found a front wheel identical to the rear on ebay. it should be here next week. are you familiar with that rear foot pedal brake setup? what years and model is that for?
