I think the only thing you need to worry about is the centre link. I am not near a parts book right now but it seems to me that possibly 65 has a 13/16"or a 7/8" link and possibly the US cars and the Canadian cars don't use the same size.

I'd help you out with it more Gord but I can't access a parts book right now.

I think you are correct,  1964 is the strange year,  all others are 7/8.   does not make too much difference as long as you match your centerlink to the idler and pitman arms.   Go with 7/8 for everything,  it will make things more conventional.
