Welcome aboard Ryan:
The 390 was not available in the 1965 truck, it came into play in 1967 if I am not mistaken. Anyway, the only way to tell the difference is to to a measurement of the engine stroke (plenty of times this has been mentioned, you will just need to search) or if the engine is out of the truck, pull the ID casting number from the crank.
Good luck! --Mike G
