Thank you is this normal as the pickup is a 30-31.

your engine has most likely been changed which now sports an earlier production time. your title numbers VIN should correspond to the correct timeline.... but you never know

Very common to have an engine that does not match the year of the car. Engine needs to be rebuilt, swapped out for one already done and rebuild the original for the next car.

Here is another place to get date of stamping from Bob Johnson,

The number stamped on the frame would be the number of the original engine.
