A little research finds your front axle brake shoe adjuster spring is Parts Group 5.026, GM# 1416760 (Chevrolet Master Parts Book extract in 1st pic below) to fit your 1965 with C60 and 5,000 lb front axle (info from some of your previous posts).

A quick web search resulted in this box of 3 springs offered for really small $. Pic of the springs is 2nd one below for anyone interested. Since you will have a couple of extras, maybe a you could offer to help out a fellow Bolter with a similar need? Anyway, get yourself some new springs. smile
