I have a servi car and don't know much. I am trying to to find out the year so I have a starting point. I think it had a 1000cc ironhead motor. The serial number is in the motor but I can't find anything on the web sights that I have searched.

Trikes didn't come with 1000cc ironhead motors (as far as I know) . If it has a ironhead motor then it's been modified with a sportster motor . Post a picture then someone can help you figure out what exactly you have . Do you have a title for it?
Over the years I have built several (3) 'sportster' trikes and 2 panhead trikes. They were all built with swingarm frames but used no shocks . I built them to bolt together and be able to go back to 2 wheels . All had the original drum brake rear axles .

Welcome to TT Darrell.:clapping:
Harley used engine serial#'s exclusively to ID their bikes/trikes until 1968?, when they began stamping VIN's on their frames.
What are the first 4~5 #'s stamped on your engine? That should help to confirm what you have if it has a HD factory case.
To "transplant" a bigger engine into a Servi-Car frame would take quite a bit of work, but it's been done before!
There were only 2 types of Servi-Car rearends made. One was a mechanical brake setup and later they built one with Hydraulic Drums. I have modified the Hydraulic rearend to work on numerous swingarm Harley frames. Mods including Disk Brakes, etc. I am pretty sure I have the Servi-Car manual somewhere on one of my computers. But again, it will only cover the flathead engine and the rear section. Message me if you want it or have any other questions.
