1943 Military Ford Jeep...rod knocking?

We;re thinking about beating this guy out of this 1943 Jeep, made by Ford during World War 2.. Most were made by Willys Jeep, and a very few by Bantam Motors, but these Fords seem to be hard to find.. We're not sure about the knocking sound, without dropping the oil pan for a closer inspection, and that's not possible right now.. Any ideas what the noise is. piston slap, wrist pin, rod knocking, or something else?

I have no idea what it could be. My 1990 ford ranger does it sometimes if it has been cold in the past few days.

lifter leaking down bad, until high revs give it oil presure.

Sounds like rod bearings too me. Pop some new bearings in and call it good if the crank us fine...
