Brake pedal not touching stop after master cyl swap

I've been working on a ton of stuff including swaping to disc brakes.
Truck is a 1969, had manual drum brakes.
I purchesed a new master cyl for a 1975 truck with manual disc brake. After bench bleeding I installed it. Used pushrod that came with new one and hooked it up to the brake pedal.

I had to push the pedal about 1" to get the pushrod to reach.

This of course makes the brake lights stay on. I can probably adjust the switch, but I wanted to know if this is ok?

The pedal sirs lower than the clutch now, it is almost flush with the has pedal.

Should I use the 69 pushrod? I think it got tossed but it seemed like it was quite a bit different than the one that came with the 75
