I think the DBA number is an engine serial number.
D = second series 1946
B = 3100 series (1/2-ton)
A = Flint engine plant
Before 1955 many states title vehicles using the engine serial number.
I looked at the pictures and it’s definitely an Art Deco style truck. Production of these trucks continued into 1947 and many were titled as 47’s.
