Mike yes the grill will fit just fine but you will have to do something for turn signals since the 61-64 were in the grill and the 65-66 were in the upper valance .

not all of the grille bolt holes will line up unless you use the upper and lower valance of the same year as the grille
i have a 62 grille and a 66 lower valance and a few are missing due to that

The 61 valance and the 65 grill would look great. No holes to fill from the letters as in the later trucks. Personally I'd use the headlights with the turn signals in the bottom.
