Digger,
I would be interested when the engine was stamped for your new truck. I also have an early 30 with a late February engine date and it has 21" wheels and the 1929 bumper. (Where as yours has 19" wheels and a 1930 bumper) Mine does have the 30 steering wheel, headlights and of course the newer version gas tank with the twist off gas cap like yours.
The Early 30 trucks are very interesting as I have seen several different variations. (Including one like yours that was on the east side of the country) You will enjoy the number of Model A "experts" that will critique your truck and tell you that it has a 1930, (or wrong gas tank) and point out everything else that is wrong with it. I run 1930 license plates on mine and always hear guys talking about how its a 28 or 29 and that the plates are wrong.
Have Fun with it!
