Seem you have this in the wrong forum don't cha think so.
I'd think you would get a better respond by asking the guys with the earlier 64 yr trucks as they would be thinking about upgrading the rearend.
I'd think it's really all about upgrading. Instead of down grading to earlier older stuff?

If this was a question about a 9-inch rear end for an early model Mustang, I could give you a much more definite answer.
There's a width difference between the '67 F100 9-inch rear vs. the 1968-1972 models. In doing a search, there's varying information on what the width is.
Some information suggests the (bare) housing widths (no axles or drums installed) are the same through 1972. If that's the case, then the narrower width would have to come from the lengths of the axles and drum brake assemblies.
The '67-earlier F-100 9-inch has 1-3/4" rear brake shoes. The '68-'72 brake shoe width is 2-1/4". This would be a difference of 0.5" per side or 1.00" overall.
If it's possible for you to measure the (bare) housing width and the axle shaft length of the '64 and do the same to a '68-'72, this will determine how much difference there is and if it's a housing width difference or if it's an axle and/or drum width difference.
