Early 5.9 Pushrods

[JDGnut]

I've had a handful of 5.9's apart.. but I've never seen a set of pushrods like this.. This is out of a late VE pump Engine... It looks like the top of the pushrod is beating into the tube.. but it looks like that might have been done when it was made.. as it looks like its all hardened.. All the pushrods were about the same.. The engine will be basically stock.. its going back with a P-pump and cam..
Just looking for opinions..
Thanks,
Bryan

i found a set lie this out of a 215 pumped core motor i took the head off and did work to for my truck.... same length and everything as mine... not to sure

I think the ends are spun welded to the tube when they make them.

^^^ i believe you are correct

Thanks guys.. Never thought about them being rotational welded.. famialar with the process.. just never thought about it on a pushrod..

I have seen this before.

Looks the same as the ones from my '93 12v with a VE.

Looks like my 92s rods.

Are these just as strong or possibly stronger than later 12v ones?
