Sorry, but if budget is limited then options are nil. To install a tilt steering column in a 64 requires either a steering box conversion and then finding the appropriate column or major modification of your existing steering box by shortening the shaft and machining and welding a coupler onto it. There is no easy conversion for a 61-64 due to the steering box design. Hawkrod
