Heres a fe wpics of my 65 L 320. Ive owned it now for a few years. Found it in a back yard where it had sat for 8 years untouched! 58,000 original miles, runs good, needs front brakes.

Mark, did you ever talk any pictures of the front end with the grill off?
That bumper looks like a 64 and I was wondering if it would fir on my 65...
not sure if the fenders are the same or not is why I asked...

Ive never actually taken the bumper off yet but i dont see why there'd be any difference on the mounting points from 64 to 65. Im also 99% sure the bumper is original, this truck was untouched for so long & even had the original jack tools behind th eseat. On my buddy's 64 L [different grill] we looked behind the fenders where the lights go & saw a "patch" of metal almost perforated kinda that could be cut out to fit the round lights into..[his has the wedge lights]. Im sure the fenders would interchange. I found a pic with the grill off...
