You might want to check and make sure that the turn signal switch is plugged into the vehicle harness. Make sure your rear bulbs, sockets and grounds are good. Do you have rear tail lights and back up lights?

If you have 4 way flashers (not sure if '64's had them), then it could be possible that the 4 way switch is in the on position, and either the 4 way flasher itself or the fuse is bad and not allowing the hazards to flash. If the 4 way (hazard) switch is on, the turn signals and brake lights won't work.

My 67 had that problem. There was a connector plug just under the dash on the left side of the steering column. I plugged and un-plugged it several times and never had another problem.
Hope that helps.

I tried the same thing you did. Unplugged and plugged. Guess what? IT WORKED. Thanks

That sounds like it might have been your turn signal switch connector. Glad it worked.
