Doesn't really give it much of an accurate date when the serial number range crosses into three years.
If you take the number of trucks made, which is 6215 for the time period of 26 months, it works out to be 239 trucks per month.
Of course, no assembly line runs that smooth, especially at the beginning. For the two months in 1945, that's 239 x 2 = 478. I doubt they even got that many out the door. So your truck was probably made in Jan or maybe Feb of 1946 as a best guess.
This info is on page 21 of Dodge Power Wagon Phot History by Monty Montgomery. A footnote on that page states the info came from our very own Joe Cimoch.
