you want a '62 with a '61 grille, and a later frame?
is do-able, but not 100% accurate unless you do some grille mods, have not seen any '61 resin grilles around. i would use the AMT '60 chev for the cab and fleetside bed, and it has a pretty nicely detailed frame.
lucky, amt is just re-releasing the '60 chev, with the go-kart
and the revell 64, 65 or 66 chev will give you the hood you need, and the frame you want (but i still think the '60's frame is nicer)
if you want to go cheap, i would just buy the '60 chev, and i got a later hood you can have...
or if you want to go expensive, you could try find one of the super rare amt '62 chev or one of their even rarer '62 promo's, but then you have to shorten the box, it's an 8 footer.
and too bad Modelhaus shut down, they were making a very nice resin '62 chev shortbox. rarely do i see them for sale, and they usually command a big buck
