'73 or '83 with that 3 in the serial #. |

The production designer put his own name on one of the mailboxes: |

1973 would be a DJ-5C with an AMC 3.8L straight-6; 1983 would be DJ-5M with an AMC 2.5L straight-4. Externally, I don't think there's any difference. The piece of tubing looping down in front of the radiator does seem to be more typical of the DJ-5M. |

Listing as the earliest it could be. The first digit on mail trucks is always the model year in the US. |

I'm wondering if this can be as late as 1983 due to the colour scheme switch from blue/white to all white in 1979 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_DJ#DJ-5A_through_DJ-5M |
