1956 Steering Column

Could use a little help. I am reassembling my 1956 F350. When I took it apart, I did not measure the position of the steering wheel. Mounting the gear box/steering column assembly would normally determine this position, but I am not reusing the gear box. Here's the question; what is the distance between the backside of the steering column hub that holds the turn signal and horn parts, and the top edge of the strap that holds the steering column to the column drop that bolts to the dash.

Thanks a lot,

Pappy
