Brake pushrod to short can I swap?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Working on a 1970 3/4 ton I ordered a brake booster from Napa part #54-71011
I am installing it now and the pushrod is 1-1/2” shorter so I can’t bolt it up to the pedal. Can I swap these out? Doesn’t seem to pull out? Don’t want to damage the new one if I have to bring it back. I looked up 1ton part number and it is the same?
Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried hooking up the vac source and starting the engine - not sure but that may move it toward where you need it.

The rear brake booster shaft is not replaceable unless during a major overhaul...

I have seen this before...

Call the NAPA store, check their stock then take your old one to match the length.....

Have fun...
