If you're standing and looking at the fuel injection pump there is sort of a barrel-shaped attachment on the right side. Inside there is a rubber diaphragm. They often go bad. If there is a small crack in it it will cause it to run rough and smoke a lot. It is quite likely that is at least part of your problem. It's easy to buy the part online and probably only takes 15 or 20 minutes to put it in since it will be your first time.

We had a 80 series Land Cruiser left behind by some Austrian friends 15 years ago in our shed, They returned in May this year and we got it going. It gradualy woke up with every job we did and came back to life. It is now touring Australia again they are on their second adventure with it. Dave.

That truck isn't a '48, '48s had painted grilles, and that truck has a chrome grille, which would make it a '49 or a '50. Give it a carb rebuild, that old flathead will probably sing again. WD-40 actualy stands for Water Displacement 40%, to my understanding, why you would only want to displace 40% of water I'm not sure, but I believe it was developed for NASA originally. that engine may be a Mercury engine (or at least it has Merc heads on it lol), which, even with the metal in the oil, especially since it sounds half decent when it was trying to run, would make it a pretty good candidate for an overhaul.

WD stands for Water Displacement and 40 is for it took them 40 tries to get it right, they got it wrong 39 times before finally getting it right. People think it is a lubricant or a penetrating oil but it is not, it was designed to displace water. You should use a penetrating oil to loosen the plugs. Soaking the cylinders with transmission fluid is good for loosening stuck rings.

Getting it running consistently will help you assess the engine condition better. I've seen other revivals of flathead 8's in way worse condition run pretty decently. I have to say when I saw the thumbnail, I had to watch. This truck reminds me alot of a 1951 Dodge B5 my dad had years ago. It was the same color yellow flatbed with plywood sides on it like yours. It wasn't a grain hauler, though. Dad was always practical so if he didn't have a use for it, he didn't keep it. Loading hay onto a trailer was much easier so dad sold the Dodge in 1980. I was only 8 years old and so heart broken when it was gone.
