If it is a 65 with a 6 cylinder, and the carb is on the passenger side then it is either a 240 or a 300, it doesn't make a difference in most parts though because they only way to tell the difference is to know the stroke I believe. (Someone will pipe in if I am wrong). Everything about them is the same except that. I have a 240 in my 66, and when I replace it I will put a 300 in it's place.

Stroke: 240 = 3.18" / 300 = 3.98"
The 240 was standard equipment, the 300 was optional.
The 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code:
1965: J = 240 1V I-6 / B = 300 1V I-6.
But today, who knows if the engine is original to the truck?
This is why the stroke needs to be measured to verify.
