It has been years, but I remember using parts from a V-8 Javelin. Still uses the bolt on spindles and parts.

Don't know if they would fit, but the Gremlins and Hornets had the bolt on spindles too.

In Car Craft on of the guys has a 69 American that he's building up with a 360. IIRC, the 69 has the same suspension as your 65. As theothers have said the axle stub bolts onto the spindle. The guy from CC used discs of a 80's Spirit and simple bolted the Spirit disc axle stubs on his 69. It looks like it'll be pretty simple.
