No, Rod Stewart was not in the Yardbirds. His one-time bandmate (and collaborator on a new album), Jeff Beck, was in the Yardbirds as a guitarist. He replaced Eric Clapton and was later replaced by Jimmy Page.
The Yardbirds had 3 hits in 1965: "For Your Love", "Heart Full of Soul" and "I'm a Man".
Jimmy Page did not quit the Yardbirds--the rest of the band essentially quit, leaving Page as the sole member of the Yardbirds.
