That's why the year is necessary - 63s are unique from any other year.
The first thing is to make a mark on the cable down by the floorboard at the switch - use a Sharpee pen or some blue tape so you can get the cable back on just like you removed it. Then remove the cable. With the key on move the switch to both extremes with your hand, if the signals work on both sides, front and back - your switch is OK and it may just be a cable adjustment or issue with the mechanical part under the horn button.
If its a cable adjustment then put the turn signal handle at the steering column in the left turn position - put the floorboard switch in the left turn position - tighten the cable in that spot and that should do it.
If the switch is bad then order the NOS one on eBay, the seller has 9 of them:

Last fall l replaced the under dash harness. The original switch was cracked and glued but still working but needed to be replaced At this point in time I'm on my third switch. The first one fell apart in my hand when I moved the slide. The second would not move smoothly in would crunch and bind. The third seemed ok but the left side will not flash. A friend who is a Electrons tech traced out all of the wiring and found No problems I'm not a perfectionist but turn signals are nice to have. The switches came from two different sources
