Yes a 1960 GMC hood will fit any 60-66 pickup or suburban. The 60 hood requires the 1960 latch that bolts to the hood, because the release handle points down instead of to the driver side. The latch plate that bolts to the grille support may or may not need the pin from the 1960. Some work fine with the 62-66 pin, others need a longer pin.
School buses are many times the best source of hoods because they are rarely abused and are so high in the air they are frequently rust free.
