Here's one source at NPD. I don't know that the lengths are, but they have your year and model listed on the bottom left hand corner of page 68 ... http://npd.dirxion.com/WebProject.asp?B ... flx&from=2#

Hope it helps along with the other input. :D

Make sure you get some that will take the full travel. so order on Min and Max length.

I used NAPA {MONROE GAS SHOCKS} on my '65 F 250 4 x 4
76909
76991
and SA-1934 for front stabilizer shock. BTW mine is all stock.
You could also, perhaps get the #'s off the originals at the bottom and x reference them at your local parts depot.
Hope this helps-Steve.
