Is my truck titled incorrectly, and has been since it's first titling?

One possible explanation is that your truck is indeed a 1962 model, but was first sold and registered in late 1961. Back in those days automakers typically first released their new models in the fall. And different states used different criteria when deciding how to register a new vehicle.
Does your truck have the '60/'61 style hood, or the '62/'66 style? That could provide a clue.
Welcome to the forum! We'll be looking forward to seeing photos of your truck. K model Suburbans are rare indeed. Total produced each year in the '60s was only in the low hundreds.
