56 Ford F-100 Stock Front Axel

Ih hoping someone can tell me what stock ford axels are compatible with the stock front axels found in a 1956 Ford F-100. I installed a CPP 3" Dropped axel and 3" dropped leaf springs in a 56 Ford F-100. Im thinking 6" is too much and I am considering installing a stock straight axel to get back 3" lift. Im in the Pacific Northwest, Whitefish, MT. Thanks for any help.

According to Sid, 53-56 are all their own. 57-64 are the same dimension except they use a 2" wide spring.

I may have one, will check. Not too far away....30 miles or so.
