Thanks for trying, KULTULZ. I find their site a little difficult to use. If you plug the part number into here:

...you can see that the push rod with that part # is specified for 1954 for both the car and the light truck, up to one ton, from what I can see. The strange thing is they specify that push rod in Ford 239 from "1939 to 1955" which doesn't sound right for a variety of reasons. They also had a 256 cid option for 1954 FORD , which can't be right either.
The picture they show on the site also don't look quite like my new ones. (Attached a pic of the rods on the Elgin site.) Like I said, mine kind of have a ball on the solid lifter end of the rod, while theirs looks more like a straight shaft (with a seam around the tip.) I don't know if that's just more sloppiness on the part of the Elgin site or what.
Here are the ones I found on ebay which look like what I've got. :

I should mention that the reason I was going to replace the push rods is about 5000 miles ago, some of the push rods were bent, so I straightened them out. Fixed the sticky valve issue that caused the bent rods, but never got around to replacing the push rods. Did a pretty good job straightening them out, but they probably aren't perfect. Seemed to work OK this far, though.
