Question 1965 Chevy C20 ID

Hey everyone! I've had a buddies truck sitting in my yard for about a month now and curiousity has gotten the better of me. I own a 68 c20 and am not farmiliar with these trucks as much as my own. I want to know what kind of transmission the 65 has?

It is a 4 speed on the floor, granny low, and reverse is twords the drivers door and back. It has a 230 something straight six I believe too.

I figured one of you guys might know off the top off your head what specific transmission this was, and if it were any good.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

Also, this truck has what seems to be some sort of tow package? It has coil springs but on the rear of the frame it has like partial leaf springs hanging down? Can anyone tell me anymore on that?
