225 Slant Six
A318

You could order a short wheelbase CSS.
You could even order one with a Utiline
box.

john is correct - 1965 CSS trucks could be had on D or W 100 or 200 Sweptline, Utiline, or Chassis cab with either a 225 or 318 engine.

if you wanted a 426 truck in early 1965 you had to get a long bed D100.

Ok, thanks guys.

Somebody offered me a '65 four eye a couple of days ago and it appears to be legit.
It is a shortbed truck with a big block and the correct bucket seats along with the hood stripes that are in the right position.

There is a big block in place but it cannot be factory because it is rated at 164hp on the body tag.

164hp sounds like an A318. :idea
