Does anybody know the what the difference is in the floor pans and radiator support for the 65. I noticed that they sell them for everything but the 65. Can the others be modified to fit the 65?

 

Well, it depends. The '65 could have either a straight front axle or a Twin I-beam front axle. There are two distinct core supports and floor pan shapes that go with each style. There is a repro core support that fits '61-'64 that can be modified to fit the '65/'66 Twin I type parts. Try a search for core support, this question comes up often.

BTW, Welcome aboard!!!! There is some awesome help here!

This is a thread that has some info on the earlier core support and what must be done to fit the '65.--->>core support<---Click here

 

Hello

The floor pans from the later model trucks do fit with little modification. I havent personally done this but I know it has been done alot. The front end of the 65 and 66 truck is all the same virtually up until 1979. For the rad support you must buy a 61-64 model reproduction and it can easily be modified to fit your truck by cutting and welding the current fender and inner fender supports. It may require a little modification but its really the only option if you wanna go new.

 

Dang beat me to it while I was typing it up. HAHA

 

Thanks for the suggestions I will give it a try. This forum does have a lot of information. This is the first time I've done a truck and this forum has already saved me a lot of time.
