Serial Numbers and Model Codes

The catalog includes a full explanation of the 10-digit vehicle serial number system used across all assembly plants. You get the breakdown of each digit: car line, model year, assembly plant, and sequence number. Starting serial numbers are listed for each model and each plant — Detroit, Los Angeles, Delaware, and St. Louis — so you can determine exactly where your car was built and its position in the production run.

Model codes are used throughout the catalog to clarify part application. The example given is AD2-H, which decodes as 1965 Dodge, 8-cylinder, Custom 880. The full chart of model codes is provided so you can interpret every application note in the parts listings.

Body Code Plate and Certicard Identification

The catalog shows the location and format of the Body Code Plate and the Vehicle Serial Number Plate. The Body Code Plate contains the schedule number, body code, trim code, and paint code of the vehicle. The Vehicle Serial Number Plate is located on the left front door hinge pillar. The Owner Identification Certicard is also explained, including engine displacement, transmission code, axle type (Sure Grip), steering type (power steering), and brake type (power brakes).

Exploded Views and Illustrations

Every major group begins with detailed exploded-view illustrations. These are not generic drawings — they are the actual factory illustrations used to identify parts, showing how components assemble and relate to one another. You will find exploded views for the front suspension, rear axle, brake systems, clutch, cooling system, engine, fuel system, steering gear, transmission, and body panels. Each illustration is cross-referenced to the parts list with callouts and part type codes.

Part Type Code System

To make part location straightforward, the catalog uses a Part Type Code system. For example, code 2-03-3 indicates Group 2 (Front Suspension), Sub Group 03 (Steering Knuckle), specific part number 3 (Knuckle with Bushing). Every part listing begins with its Part Type Code, so you can quickly confirm you are looking at the right component for the job.

What This Catalog Lets You Do

With this 1965 Chrysler Mopar Passenger Car Parts Catalog, you can identify and order the correct parts for any 1965 Plymouth, Valiant, Dodge, Dart, Chrysler, or Imperial. The catalog gives you the actual factory part numbers that were used when these cars were built, not aftermarket substitutes. You can verify model application before ordering, check whether a part fits your specific body style and assembly plant, and see the exact quantity of each fastener or component required. The exploded views make it possible to understand how systems assemble and disassemble, which is invaluable during a restoration or when diagnosing a failed component.

Having the right part number and knowing exactly what it applies to saves time and money. This is the same catalog that Chrysler parts counter personnel used in 1966. Whether you are working on a 225-powered Dart, a 426 Hemi Belvedere, a Newport with a 383, or an Imperial Crown, this catalog covers the parts you need.
