My new to me closed cab pickup was sold as a 1930. Motor # 2435582 places it as mid October 29 for motor. I have no idea what's on the frame. I need to replace the rear window, and there is a part number difference starting in mid 30. Question is: "Are there other ways to identify when truck was...
