82000001 to 82043278
They were built from 1943 to 1945.
Are you suyre about your serial number?
820373367 has 9 digits, and the number should only have 8. Maybe you hit the 3 twice? If so the following should be true.
Yours looks to be later 1944 production if I was to guess, but if you want to know for sure buy the built card from Chrysler, $25 and all your questions will be answered.
As for the question of WC-62 or WC-63, the serial numbers did not break down that way.
Here is a site with a few serial numbers and dates of delivery:

Use that chart to get an idea of when yours was made.
82037931 was made on the 17th of Nov 1944, so
82037367 should be a little before that.
Good luck!
