It can be done, I've seen it, but it's more involved than that. The radiator core support has to get changed out, I think the valence too, and the fenders have to be slightly modified. But I agree, I like the 60 nose better.

Ken, what needs to be done to the fenders? Aren't they listed as the same part # throughout production? Just curious, I may have scored a front clip and might be going this route soon.
You *definitely* need to change the front valance and the radiator sorround, as the light buckets mount to it and they're completely different...

62 Headlights....
I used to like the 60 better as well (the front end), but when I ran across my 62 I couldn't pass it up. It is one gorgeous truck!
The front end of the 62 grew on me quickly and I now prefer it. Of course that may be simply because I own a 62 and not a 60.
The lighting is very efficient on the 62 though!

I don't remember what it is, but there is a very slight difference. Like David says, you can modify your existing fenders. It might be something about the marker light, or where some of the bolts are, something like that.
I agree with dd113, the 60 front end looks better (in most peoples opinion), but the 62 lighting system is superior. This is a function over fashion dilemma.
Do what you think is right. and good luck.

I don't agree about the lighting, making an upgraded harness for a 62 so you can run H-4's/H-1 with higher watage bulbs is a art that only one person has mastered, no one makes a plug and play harness.
fj60 with h4 80/100 and IPF's lens kicks some major booty
Even stock I'll take a 60 lighting over a 62.
and they 62 4 headlights kinda growns on you.....I wouldnt change it unless i was replaceing all the sheetmetal from an accident......even then I wouldn't bother.
