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 ...

Hope it helps along with the other input.

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.
