Daniel:  Clarks has used cross-overs for '65 140s in their used parts list. Item #CU551.  Cost $34.00. (from latest catalog)
Their phone # is 413-625-9776 if you don't have their catalog.

Daniel:

Are you sure that you can not bend the original cross over shaft back
into near new shape?  After all you have a reputation of being a bit on
the physical side.

I probably have one but all my car parts stuff is boxed up and in self
storage.
