I tried them a few months ago and could not find a 65 owners manual. I wonder why the 65 is such an oddball for stuff like that.

I have several new originals...someplace. When I find them, you get first dibs.

I bought a big stack of owners manuals from a dealer 20 years ago.

When Don (camperspecial65) was staying here (while attending the Western Nats), he shoulda pestered me to look for them, because when it comes to procrastinating, I'm Numero Uno.

My only two guesses is (1) first year of the twin I beam, got some type of patent control. lol or (2) the orginial print copy was lost.
You see 50's thru 64 model and then 66 thru 68 model in most catalog suppliers, no 65 model.

the 65 and 6 manuals were carbon copies of each other with some pic differences due to grille. That, and of course the cover color and form number/print and issue date.
