Default Re: 1961 K1001 GMC Suburban year and code series don't match

Thanks Ed. Pretty sure the hood has been replaced so that feature doesn't tell much. My understanding was later style hoods were used as replacement, and that is what my truck has.

I'm the second owner of my truck, the original being the University of Missouri Geology Department. It was used at the university's field camp in Lander Wyoming that I attended in 1978 where I purchased the truck in a silent auction.

My file has some procurement information, so I may have date of purchase. This could substantiate if purchase date may have caused an actual 1962 to be titled as a 1961.

I knew K Suburbans were rare, since I've never seen another GMC one since I've owned mine. I've seen one Chevrolet K in person. There was K GMC Suburban in the Mel Gibson movie "Man Without a Face"
