I think that R/T Specialties was selling new hood lip trim for '64s a few years back. I would check with them for interchangeability. I had a good used one that I found on e-bay. It was shipped in a piece of pvc tubing and I left it in my garage when we were remodeling. The #$@^& contractor threw out the tubing thinking it was scrap

That sucks they are hard to find! To the OP No a 65 Dodge will not fit... The ones Bill was making and selling were milled out of solid aluminum. They were ok from a distance but once you got near them they did not even look close compared to the Oem pieces so I guess if you have to go that route just plan on it being expensive and "better" than nothing....

Its not that they're that rare, but finding one in good condition is VERY hard to do. When I purchased my '64 it was the first trim piece I purchased and it cost me $200 used off e-bay. That was 10 years ago! Oddly enough it was shipped in a piece of PVC, but my contractor didn't throw it away since I stored it in the Polara's trunk for safe keeping.
