My '41 1/2 ton has a '54 235 engine. The fuel pump appears to be from the 41-47 series. It smells of and has evidence of old gas in it so I'm assuming it worked for some prior owner. Does it matter that it's from an older truck series?

If it had gas left in it for a long time it may not work any longer. If it's working it should be OK but I would change it to be on the safe side. If the diaphragm is weak you could end up walking. I believe 37 through 51 all used the same pump configuration as for how it mounts to the engine and the pump lever shape.

Given the appearance of its insides, I'm definitely going to get a rebuild kit. Thanks.

The 1937-1955-1st single-action fuel pumps were/are interchangeable.
