64 steering column

is there any way possible to change the steering column in my 64 to the 65-66 setup.i`m a big guy and i could use the extra room.i like the way that the 65-66 column molds into the dash.my steering wheel looks like something off of a school bus.i almost have to hold my breath(suck it in)to slide in underneath it.

It's impossible without some kind of serious modification because, on your truck, the shaft that the steering wheel bolts to is part of the steering box.

After `64 Ford got rid of the straight axle and changed the entire steering design. A later box will not work.
