In a lot of aspects, your 63 is closer to a 57-62 Dodge, Desoto, Chrylser,
Plymouth.   the suspension is all a carry over from 57-61 standard cars
(before B-bodies...).    

as for parts:  Imperial Services, Gary Goers, PST, Kanter, Autozone...

There are aftermarket disc conversions for the 57-61 cars (62-64 Chrysler 
and 880 as well).  PLUS It has been covered either here, or on the MML, that
74-78 C-body disc spindles fit the big cars too...   such swaps can be done,
and can yeild an excellent performing *safe* braking system, but its 
important to do a lot of research before putting it together...  make sure 
the master cylinder, the brake lines, the calipers and the rear wheel 
cylinders are all correctly matched.  Plsu there is suspension geometry issues
to be aware of....

hmmm...  get a factory service manual (FSM) for a 63 Chrysler.  You'll need
it for the wiring diagrams ( and everything else! ).  if your harness can't
be repaired, start looking for a used harness.
