The "square" cab was used 28 to mid-30. The 30 models had the 1/4-turn gas cap (on the 28-29 style tank) and the 30-31 style steering wheel - dunno if the headlights were 28-29 or 30-31. Can't tell for sure from your pic but it looks like the steering wheel might be 30 - the 28-29 is "dished" a bit in the center whereas the 30-31 is flat.

You could have an assembly of parts from different vehicles. OTOH, you have a 30-31 style frame, maybe a 30-31 style steering wheel, and a 29-29 style gas tank with 1/4-turn cap (found ONLY on early-30 trucks AFAIK) - those clues point to an early-30. What makes you think it's a 28? Do you have a title and if so, does it say 28? It could have been changed over the last 77+ years - mistakes can happen when ownership changes and a new title is issued.
