Stock rear shock length on a '56

I am trying to determine what would have been the stock length for rear shocks on a '56 F100? The PO of my truck put air shocks on the truck in order to create an exaggerated rake. The air shocks are toast and I would like to consider a ride height that is closer to stock as a starting point. Any insight would be appreciated.
