for 65 it's normal, that's why they're called parking lights, not running lights .... if you want them to be running lights all you have to do is add a jumper

This is typical on the '60-'66 Chevy/GMC trucks.

Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will forward a photo of the jumper wire. It is a simple modification.
