Do I need to have the heads machine or since I never had a coolant leak can I just put new gaskets in it and put my studs in and put it back together?

That’s a massive gamble just to save a few bucks. I wouldn’t do it, but that’s just me.
What’s the going rate to have a heads resurfaced? Ball park please And thank you

Do you have a recommendation on pushrods and gasket preferences and location to purchase?
I was thinking of ordering Mahle Excuse me if I misspelled that And also I am assuming that was the time to do all the nipple cup seal, etc. and oil cooler and a new EGR cooler correct I have not ordered my cooler have a new egr cooler from international was a gift
For stock valve train use a set of 6,4L pushrods

a mahle gasket kit would be fine, it’s OEM. Ford kit is a little more complete but not a big difference.

what year is the truck?

it greatly depends upon location and machine shop experience for price. Anywhere from 300-750$ for clean, cut, shave, magnaflux and pressure check. It will be more than that if you want the valves pulled and checked
