welcome to the garage Windy1 .... see the tech tips, and check out the GM info pack for 42 & 46 [none put out for 45] - and there's lots of other info available at the old Chevy manuals site .... as near as you'll find about "where it came from" will be the plant that produced it, if you have the actual vin, which doesn't show on that tag

Would you know why it would be titled as '45?

it could be a 45, because back in the day vehicles were dated by the date of first sale, not the mfgrs model year .... also, the 42-46 vehicles were really all sequential production of the same design, so a 45 was really assembled with 'leftover' parts, there was nothing new until the last year [46] of the Deco or Victory design .... the 42-45 trucks were all "B" models [BK for a 1/2T], what will tell the approximate year of assembly will be the unit serial number [rough guess from this list]
