9" in a 65????
If you're really wanting to swap in a weaker rear end than what you've got, look for a 1964 or later rear end out of a F100 or F150. The heaviest rear is rated for 3300 lbs. Use the axle tag and/or outer axle bearings for identification. You'll probably have to relocate your spring perches, possibly lengthen the driveshaft, buy a u-joint to adapt from your 3/4 ton driveshaft to the 1/2 ton rear, and adapt the brake lines. By the way, you're also getting smaller (weaker) brake shoes. Good luck!
