Dead give-away should be the front frame horns. 6x-66 front frame horns are physically shaped different vs. post-66 trucks that came w/pwr steering & 5-lugs. Factory 5-lug set-ups started in 71. 5-lug (disc) set-ups & power steering are easy to swap to a 65 6-lug drum brake equipped frame.

Re: 65 frame question.
The vin# should be stamped into the frame near the power steering pump. In my case I found that the vin#'s were different on my cab and frame (Cab 64, frame 65).
