This pickup motor has a 1928 serial number but the doors seem to be model T?

Maybe it was shipped as a chassis (non bodied). Lots of trucks were sold as such.

Definitely been pieced together - look at the windshield posts, windshield frame (from a sedan) and the panel between the windshield and gas tank. Would be interesting to see what else is there - any more pictures?

You truck is a model A not a T. The engine number shows it was assembled in Canada - the CA prefix. The truck, looking at the limited pictures you posted, appears to be somewhat molested. Some more pictures would be helpful to identify it better.

Guessing you live in Canada or bordering US states, the number stamped on block is Canadian. The door shown only would have been on Canadian built Model T's, US did not have a drivers side front door till 1926-27. The door shown would have been from 1914/15 to 1925. Home built rig, made with what they had to work with.

The number is a restamp on the block, number pad was ground down and restamped

I wonder why they would do that?

Engine swap or rebuilt often has that done.
