Unfair statement, even with plenty of info its very hard for a shop to know "Exactly" how your truck was set up, especially looking at things like the variety of power/no-power/disc/no-disc masters, boosters etc. Most shops would prefer to sell you everything you might need, because you'd be just as peeved if they shorted you parts.

Fwiw, rod length is a pretty easy thing to fix. The biggest issue IMO is making sure that the max length depresses the plunger all the way, without trying to force it past its maximum depth. Some vehicles also came with an adjustable pedal rid, whereas most of the manual braking systems had a stationary rod. When I did my hydroboost swap from manual to hydro, I took the newer adjustable end and sleeved/welded it to the old part.
