You didn't say what year truck you're working with. 53 lowers are different from 48-52. That said, from the Ford service parts catalog, the lower on all trucks is 1 3/4", 48-52 is 7 1/2 long, 53 is 10.88 long. The upper for all years show 1 1/4x4 1/2 long, and the pipe to cylinder head piece is 1 1/4x2 1/2 long. Hope this helps.
