No bearings for pushrods. 
Those would just be Rod bearings. (connecting rod.)
If you drop all the main caps, you can pull the crank down just a little bit, and then kinda roll the upper bearings shells out. They have a 'key' on them, just a little nub that prevents them from spinning, so, bear that in mind when you try and drive them out. (they will be obvious when you have the caps off, and the surfaces cleaned.) I have done bearings that way on a couple motors. It's fun.... but, doable.

LOLOLOL. I don't HAVE a 2wd.... therefore, if it doesn't apply to the 2bys, someone generally comes along to correct me. Currently, my truck is sitting in the garage with the oil pan off, and all the main caps are right there for all the world to see. It would be less than 20 minutes work to change them all. So, please do not presume to tell me what to post, and what not to post.

Your not alone, I've done it before on cars AND trucks. Oh and it CAN be done on a 2wd without removing the motor but you do have to unbolt the engine mounts on both sides, take off the air hat and lift the engine with a cherry picker.
