On the chassis number, I believe the X is an add-on at some point. 8PW would be the plant (8=Atlanta) and model (PW=6400) for a 1946 truck. The following numbers would be the 2772nd truck off the line.
The DEA prefix on the engine number also indicates a 1946 Flint plant built engine.
So rather than a 1947, that appears to be a 1946 data plate. If you can find the serial numbers on the rear axle and transmission, that will help determine the actual truck year. As Kevinski said, a data plate pop riveted on is suspect. See attached for reference.
Nice looking truck, though.
