1950 Packard Standard Eight - Rear Shocks

Would anyone know the manufacturer's part number for rear shocks (say, NAPA, Monroe, Gabriel, KYB)?

The existing rear shocks on my 1950 Standard Eight are too short. In order to change the rear tire, the lower end of the shock has to be disconnected from the rear axle in order to let the axle drop down further to allow the rear wheel to be removed (ie, so that the wheel can slip between the axle and the fender).
