A search on ebay turns up this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1965-...item3f07674e9a
I don't know what year they started doing so, but, along with a chassis service manual each year, GM would put out a "body service manual" that would cover all body styles for all GM makes, not just Oldsmobile, for that year. That's the way it is for '67 and '73, the years of the two Oldsmobiles I have.
The manual above, though, appears to be specific to Oldsmobile. It also appears to be just what you're looking for. I don't know how thick it is, but the $40 price with $5 shipping seems very reasonable to me given what these manuals usually sell for.

I'm not sure what you mean by "interior manuals". I will presume by "service manuals" you mean the Chassis Service Manual. There is a Fisher Body Manual for 1965 and it covers all GM makes, and that covers interiors. We have the 1965 Chassis Service Manual posted on Wild About Cars. But not the 1965 Fisher Body manual, we expect to get that posted soon.
The 1972 Parts and Accessories Catalog-Body Section (covers 1965) is already posted.

Like Kurt, not sure exactly what you're looking for. The 1965 Body manual is separate from the Chassis manual and is the last year it was Division-specific. 66-later are "Fisher Body" service books.
Or are you looking for the Color & Fabric Album that the dealer sales staff got? It has samples of all interior fabrics and color choices, as well as paint chips. Some years had overlays so you could get some idea what your car would look like in certain colors.

Body manual
When I got my 65 Jetstar convertible the interior was completely shot, only thing salvageable was the door panels. I am just looking to find an interior that can be reupholstered and having the instructions for putting everything back to factory condition.
Someone sent me the information about Wild About Cars which has proved to be very helpful over the past week. I have not decided what color I am going to paint yet since winter is approaching I better hurry up. It won't be original and just a driver, i have already changed out the dash from a 65 98 cause I wanted air, and the engine is a 455 from a 68 Delmont. Thanks for your replies

I've seen that site. It's interesting, but it's very hit-or-miss. They have the '66 Olds Chassis service manual and Fisher body manual, but they have no other year Oldsmobile manuals except for 1978.
