F3 Push Rod Question

Is the master cylinder push rod on a '52 F3 the same as a F1? I'm looking thru Mac's and all they have is a 1948-1956 F1 push rod.

Nope, F-2 and higher is longer because the crossmember and MC are a little further back. LMC among others has it, listed as only for F-2 but as you can see, all the larger trucks used it.

I may have a couple used ones from the two 52 F2-3 trucks that I recently parted out.

I have the one I removed, but I don't know how smooth they need to be. Mine has some built up crud on it that I can't seem to get smoothed down to the surface.
