63' and 64' Plymouths have a lot of sheet metal that interchange. You can put a 64' nose on a 63' and vise-versa, doors are interchangeable as long as you use a sedan door on a post car and a hardtop door on a hardtop. trunk lids will swap out as well. A lot of 63' cars got converted to 64's back in the day for Stock/Super stock so they could use the stage III motor or Hemi power. Both body styles are very nice looking and will make a nice race car. Wish I had the problem you are having being able to find only 64's...They are as scarce around my area.

Savoy's are post cars with less chrome. Belvedere's are hardtops and nicer trim package on the outside. Attachments:

The biggest difference and hardest to change is at the base of the windshield:
63 curves up to windshield
64 is flat to windshield

Top is different, both hard tops and sedans, windshields, front ends, taillites...
Doors interchange on sedans and hardtops

Dash Panels will interchange. Taillights are different but can be changed. Dave's right about the windshield base is the hardest to change. Real '64 Hemi cars had a 2 headlight grill and a flat hoodscoop and are the best looking in my opinion. I have seen 4 door sedans changed to 2 door "post cars" by relocating the "B" pillar and using a door from a 2 door car which is longer.
Fiber Glass Doors are availiable. There are plenty of "nice" 4 door cars out there.

It's EZ to tell a 63 from a 64. Just look at the rear windshield. The 63 has a very distinctive lip on top and the 64 is flush. Done deal.
