They could not have talked about the cross before it was revealed. It could not have been the power to save" until the work was finished. They could not have preached about the resurrection either until it had happened but I think it would be hard to preach any kind of "gospel" that did not include the Risen Christ. The disciples brought that part into the kerygma after the fact. As the light increased so their message expanded.
As God increases light, more is given to us and more is expected from us. There is no need to conceptualize the existence of two gospels of salvation, partition the NT or bring division into the Body of Christ when it is a matter of progressive revelation.
Nevertheless, they preached "the gospel" in early Luke.
I wouldn't assume "the gospel" means "part of the gospel".
