Hi Ryan, Welcome to FTE 
the nations truck stop.
Maybe you can spend a little bit of time using the search feature for 64 power steering and come up with some ideas.
There are many Threads on the topic.

I put power on my 65. Came off of a 66. If you can find a Bendix gear box. It should be a direct fit. Was on my 65. If you go to a later model truck you will have to modify steering column. Bendix boxes are hard to come by and expensive rebuilt. Need to replace crank pulley and get all correct brackets. I purchased gear box, pump,pulley and all mounting hardware. Took about two hours to install.

Careful. He said he has a '64. The '64 and earlier trucks look like the '65 and '66, but they are an entirely different animal underneath. Ford made a major model revision without making a body design change - and that throws the normal assumptions off.
Nothing but a few body parts interchange between the model types.
Since early '65s have been known to be titled as a '64, double check the front suspension. If your truck has a single I-beam for a front suspension, it is a '64, and you cannot use the later PS setup as a bolt on solution.

Great call bangopicker66...I was just going to say the same thing..... I have a 64 and plan on useing one of two ways... Toyota powersteering box for "1984 4x4" or the aerostar front suspension. I have not made up my mind yet waiting to see what kind of problems if any from the aerostar. Also Ericj is right narrow tires on the front is the easy quick way till you make up your mind what you want. Run a search get all the facts on this job then make up your mind
Have a great time
