Gosh dang small world! Good stuff

So what are you asking?

I was thinking the Swedged meant the pressed on ends which was my mixing up of the correct term.
My question was regarding a 3 piece vs. a one piece pushrod.

you too!?!??!!?

Trend. Picked them up on my way home from work.

This is just getting scary!

I've used Smith Bro's, Manton and Manley.

* Manley sometimes because their factory was 30 minutes from where I lived in NJ and it was nice to be able to roll up and buy something the same day.
* Smith Bro's because of reputation. Downside for me was that they are West Coast and with the time difference it was an issue from time-to-time. Lead-time was sometimes an challenge due to coast-to-coast shipping. But as far as quality they were always great and good guys to speak with.
* Manton has been good to me so far. I just started using them. Sizes are unlimited and turn-around was quick.

What lengths do you need? I have a set of Manton's that I ordered in the wrong lengths by mistake. If they will work for you I will sell them at half price. Never been installed.

Lots of good input here
