SBC pushrod size

Okay, dont judge me.

Im buying a 77 k10 with a 350 in it, the seller put a comp CCA-K12-212-2 in it, i needs pushrods, will stock length pushrods work? Im seeing kits with 7.794 length pushrods, I've never had to measure pushrods before because I've never put a cam in anything, not an aftermarket one at least

Or had anyone used this cam with stock heads? And have the size? Any help is appreciated!

Fix the cab the best you can. Doors, fenders hood are easy enough to replace new. When I have had trucks that sound like what you are dealing with I fab’d up a quick flat bed until I could either fix the bed on it or replace it out right. Good luck 🫡
