Hello from Germany,

finally I managed to buy a 1965 Shortbed Sweptline. I hope to receive it before Xmas. I had already several later Lifestyle Pickups and this
is my first Sweptline. There is a good amount of people over here which likes old american irons and beside the Sweptline I have a 64 Dodge 440,
recently sold my 71 Sportfury and had years before a 69 Roadrunner, 68 Superbee, 72 New Yorker, 68 Fury Convertible and so on...you got it
Mopar only

My very first question: with the changes of the year 1965 did they switch to the pie pan grill AND the modern bed at one time?
Or otherwise a 65 Pie Pan grilled sweptline with a early bed is a Heinz?

Thx

Welcome to the site.
In mid '65, the grille was changed from the 4 headlight to the 2 headlight [pie plate] style.
Also, the early single wall round tail light Sweptline bed was replaced by the later double
wall bed with the oval tail lights. You can use either style short Sweptline [or Utiline] bed
as they are all designed for a 114" wheel base. If a "Heinz" means not original, you would
be correct with regards to the pie plate front in combination with an early style bed.
