Doing a swap on a 64 Polara, from single reservoir master cylinder power drum/drum brakes, to dual reservoir manual disc/drums. I need the correct or adjustable pushrod.
 
The stop light switch may need to be modified with an adjustable push rod. There's a tip on stock push rod. Had the problem on my 65 Dodge Coronet.
 
Would a push rod from a manual drum front and rear with a single reservoir work?
If so I have one from a 64 Plymouth
 
Dr. Diff normally has them but seem to be currently out of stock. Could call and see about ETA.
Yeah, I probably need to contact Cass, and at least nail down what I need. I swapped to manual on my Duster years ago, but my memory is foggy. This is my first early B body, and I've had it six days, so not sure what interchanges, yet.
 
I have one from a 1968 B Body manual brakes 4 wheel drums if you don't find one from Dr. Diff.
 
A stock manual rod 62-65 should work. Ed says that he has one and a I have few too. 66-70 is different.
Yes I'm using one in my 64. Pedal height is good.
 
As far as I know, this is the one I need.

Thanks for all the replies. For some reason I am not able to PM after the update.
I just found out when I tried to pm a member about a set of locks/keys.
 
Got sidetracked with some other stuff. Still need the factory 62-65 pushrod with the associated parts, as well as the manual firewall plate.

I still have the one I posted pictures of.
I will sell it to you.
PM me for info

Did you modify the adjustable pushrod or the stoplight switch to make the adjustable rod work?

Is this the bare pushrod after removing the plunger from the single reservoir pushrod as in the second picture - or is this different pusrod?

The adjustable pushrod doesn't have that small nub on the end. That nub hit brake light switch. I move the switch, might be easier to tack weld a piece. I didn't have a welder at the time.
 
Thanks. I have a new adjustable pushrod without the nub on the end for the switch and I have an original style single master cylinder. I tried removing the pushrod from the single master cylinder - it would not come out - but I guess I didn’t pull hard enough. It would still have that plunger on the end and I don’t know if that comes off.
