If it's a straight-axle truck, it's not a '65. Ford started putting the Twin I-beam suspension on their trucks in '65.

well for one if its a straight front axle its prolly a 61-64 truck anyhow, ford introduced twin I-beams in 65 as for that i can tell ya any 73-79 ford truck spindles and stuff will bolt right up, done it to 3 different trucks now, a 66 71 and a 69 all of which work great, as for the master cylinder, if you have a welder and wanna really good workin brake setup, get you a dodge master cylinder for like a 84 d-100 truck, the only mods needed to do this swap is to drill the mounting holes in the master cylinder to 1/2 inch and prolly have to shorten the brake push rod, thats where the welder comes in,
