Many vehicles made in '46 were titled as '47s. If yours is a late model, called Advance Design series, your ID plate should be on the forward doorpost on the driver's side. Someone else will have to tell you where it should be on an early (Art Deco) series truck.
For questions about getting it going (or getting it home, whatever) use the search feature of this site. Someone has probably asked before and gotten several opinions about how it should be done, most of them right. If you don't find an answer that way, just ask.
