This dosn't answer your question BUT,
Is that a 71 doner TRUCK? The front end swap may not be as difficult as you think. Take the entire front crossmember out of the doner and install that crossmember, a-arms spindles and all, into the 64. I think it will require two holes to be drilled, but it's pretty much a bolt in. You will need to use the master cylinder and proportioning valve from the 71 too, but that will go right in with little effort too. ( Grab the brake pedal actuator rod from the 71 too)
Does that 71 have power steering ? Pick up a REZ adaptor and bolt that in too !!
See how one thing leads to another ?
