Any 60-66 Chevy or GMC pickup truck hood will fit on any 60-66 Chevy or GMC pickup or suburban so long as originality isn't important. You just need the hood latch that goes with the hood. On the 60-61 style the release lever points down and is accessed in the gap between the hood and the radiator support. On the 62-66 version the release lever is accessed through the rectangular hole on the front of the driver side. The 60-61, and 62-66 Chevy and GMC hoods are essentially the same stamping except for the front section, which is unique to each brand and early/late style.

It's really a matter of personal preference what looks good. Many consider the 60-61 GMC hood ugly, and many don't feel the 60-61 Chevy hoods look "right" with the 64-66 windshield design, but it really comes down to what the owner likes and what hood is available.

There is a big truck with a hood that looks similar to the pickup version, but it is substantially shorter from the nose to the windshield.
