I've also got a '60 grill in my '62, because I love that 4-headlight grill.
Regarding your hood: I know I read at one point that the '60-'61 hoods had a bad problem with rusting, and the dealers were instructed to replace them with the later hoods. If that truck arrived at the dealer damaged, someone stole the hood off the lot (hey, stranger things happened), or it was at the end of production and the plant was out of hoods, it would have gotten the '62 hood.
Sweet looking truck! I dropped a crate engine (dressed like a vintage 327), 4spd OD manual trans and 3.42 gears in the Dana in my '62 Suburban. Just got back from a 1,400 mile round trip to Joplin, MO in it.
(Note to self... next year, the truck has to have solid floors, some sound deadener and weather stripping!)
