You better tell Mattel, they are marketing it as a 62 Custom truck on the packaging.
Personally my 63 was my favorite truck, having seen a real 62 the other day at the Brothers Show I still think the Mattel headlight doors on the toy look like a 62. The level of detail on todays die cast even at 1/64th is pretty darn good. I bet they could have made the headlight doors more perfectly round, but I think they did it on purpose so they had no liability issues.
Either way you should be proud and pleased that a replica of your truck is out there for everyone to enjoy! Congratulations!
