The Inner fenders, hood hinges & support core are different between 61-64 & 65-66 trucks because their cabs & frames are different.

It is possible to screw around and get sheetmetal adapted enough to interchange, but I wouldn't do it myself because it's a "make do" solution. It will never be correct or fit exactly as it should. It will work in a pinch if need be.
