Another vacuum booster question

Can the push rod be removed from the booster? I don't see any clip to hold it in, but I am reluctant to use the strength test on it. Anyone know? Thanks!!

Don't. A new or rebuilt booster will come with this rod. This is the "non-adjustable " style.

Thanks, JEFFAFA. The problem I am having is that this push rod is about 2-3/16 inches too short. I was hoping I could swap it for a longer push rod. If I can't remove it, I guess I will have to figure out a way to lengthen the one that is in there.

Sounds like you need to get the pedal(s) out of the donor vehicle that you got this booster out of.

I've heard where some guys just drill a new hole lower in the bump stock pedal when using a 73-79 booster. That one in picture don't look like 73-79 one tho.

What part of Middle Tennessee you in? My truck is at my parents house in Eagleville. I just bought a booster, master cylinder, and wheel setup from a guy in Chapel Hill. It came out of a '72 and is going in my '72. I haven't installed it yet. Your booster looks the same as mine.
