You have to use upper and lower ball joints for the '76 on your stock '65 a arms(upper and lower)
OR
Swap a-arms/spindle combo over- it is a bolt on.

You can either buy conversion tie rod adjuster sleeves to add the '76 outer tie rods to your '65 steering linkage,
OR swap out the entire steering from the '76 to the '65

and FYI there are no disc brake kits that clear OEM 15" wheels, that I have heard of- they all hit the calipers.
