Early or late 1930 pickup?

[jfrankhash]

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 assembled, or should I just assume that it's an early 30?"
Thanks in advance for any help. John

Early '30 the cab was carried over from 28/29 and had the "telephone booth" look to it.

In mid '30 they went to the rounded style cab.

Thanks, based on these pictures it's a late 30. does that make a mid oct 29 engine look like a replacement?

Very Likely.

Is there a VIN number on the title different then the engine #? Someties the original VIN follows the title and sometimes it's re-issued with the replaced motor number. It depends on the State and circumstances. I got lucky, my title was changed to the motor number but fortunately there is a copy of the previous registration from the State it came from and it had the correct VIN.

Take it to a local glass shop, they won't care what year it is............

Early 30 pu,s look like 29,s except they usualy have 19" wheels & 30 head lights & 30 style 1/4 turn gas cap.
