Here is something to keep in mind, I sent you a message but I will just explain it in here!
When my column arrived...The same one you are ordering the Neutral Safety Switch was dead center of the firewall, It would not work although the fit was perfect otherwise. I called Flaming River and sent them a pic, they immediately called me back and said their design was based off of fitting a 65 truck, they were super nice and admitted an over sight claiming it was a direct fit for a 61, I sent it back they replaced the tube and moved the NSS up towards the dash 3 inches.
This might not be the case with your 63, I don't know if it would be the same from firewall to mounting screw as a 65 or 61 but hopefully this will help!
If you measure from your factory column mounting bolts (up near the dash) down to the firewall that should give you an idea if the direct fit unit you are looking at will fit, if not they will move it for you free of charge.
My first column from Flaming river was about 14-1/2 inched from mounting hole to NSS that is when is fell right dead in the middle of the firewall, the replacement which is still the same part number just modified by Flaming river is 11-1/2 inches from mounting hole to NSS, this moved the NSS further inside the cab!
It fits perfect!
