I had a truck do that to me before and it was a bad carb.

Sounds like timing, if timing is off/advanced too much then the engine runs hot, if the carb is not adjusted right and still loaded with fuel the excessive heat in the cylinders can detonate causing the engine to bang over a couple of times. Sounds like you need a full tune up.
