I made the 64 shifter conversion on my rampside. You do need a 64 FC to do
this as the floor is reinforced by the shifter. It is not too difficult to
cut out this area and weld it in to an earlier FC. You also need a later
tank - I converted by 63 tank by welding in the "pipe" section from a rusted
out 64 tank. I believe the shift tube is special too. It is certainly not
a "bolt in " operation but not too difficult if you have mig welding skills.
The later shifter is very nice although I do miss the "mystery" of the early
shifter.
The 64 shifter is very positive and my 63 rampside with a rebuilt
transmission and new syncros is a pleasure to drive and well worth the
conversion efforts
