I can't give an accurate answer for the 65 body to 75 frame.
I can say this..... I'm doing a 64 body to a 68 frame. The front bed panel back is basically the same on both frames, & I had to relocate the rear cab mounts, front radiator support mounts, front bumper, radiator mount, & modify the frame horns. Since you can mount a later model bed on the earlier frame, the frame structures are similar enough to make the swap possible. But, it will take a lot of cross reference measuring and/or 'customizing' for the mount locations.
Is there something wrong w/the 65 frame to warrant the swap?
