Default Stock pushrods?

Picked them up from a buddy who had them laying around. Are they the stockers? They've got some weight to them, but I just cant tell. Pictures are from my phone, hope they're clear enough to tell!!

those are def stock pushrods...you see how they are ends are multiple pieces laser welded together? a good aftermarket pushrod is one piece chromoly...there are no seams at the end like the hemispheres at the end of those pushrods

definately look like the OEM, take them and roll them on a flat surface, a piece of glass,mirror,good tabletop,or countertop. If they roll smooth and easy with no wobble, then they are good to go, Clean them out with some brake cleaner, and thats it.. I would definately get a length measurement before installing them though with a set of calipers to be exact.
