They vary by model and year due to location of the axle(s) and the mounts.
Your '65 still uses a conventional shock, so what I do is go to the auto
parts store and plunk the old on the counter.  They take the measurements
and then phone the tech support guy who tells 'em what shock to use.  There
are no more cross reference books due to liability issues.  I've used both
Napa & Monroe's on our trailers.
