The Big Block GMC V-6's have a website all their own, "'60-'66 GMC V-6". Lots of info on them and the trucks they were used in. There were several engines in the 400 cid range, a 401, 432, and probably the most popular BIG engine was 478 cid.

Livestock trucking companies tended to use gas engine trucks & tractors because older farmers believed diesel exhaust hurt the quality of the meat on the way to the processing plant. I spent a LOT of time riding Shotgun in GMC V-6 powered livestock semi's or IH CO-190's with 450 cid 6's. There was a BIG livestock trucking company out of Litchfield, Illinois that every Sunday night would have over a dozen semi's at the Chicago Stockyards, mostly gasoline powered FORD's, their Super-Duty gas truck engines seemed to run the best, 401, 477, & 534 cid, 226, 253, & 266 hp.
