Your 65 full size should have a Pontiac 8.875" axle. There is actually a surprising amount of support for that axle through Fabcraft Metalworks.

I believe 3:23 was standard. I might have 3:08 gears for that.

I pulled a 64 rear end out of a 65 Starfire years ago, which I though was odd.. I guess someone swap the original one out.. I seemed to fit in there ok,
