As daring as some GM divisions were I think GMC was probably the single most daring. They played with the patterns for the cylinder block castings, and the ceankshaft forging, made a "Twin-Six V-12, two 351's, four cylinder heads, two distributors, two carbs, 702 cid. I frequent poster on that GMC V-6 forum who only lives a couple miles from me has a Custom 1500 GMC short box, but very VERY long nose pickup with a V-12 under the hood. His other truck is the steel tilt cab, my favorite color, IH red, also V-12 powered. Seemed like every local livestock hauler had a GMC or 2,3, or more. And nobody had a V-12, but lots of 478's. The other interesting engine was the 637 cid 60 degree cylinder bank angle V-8 that replaced the V-12. The LARGEST displacement V-8 GM ever put in a new vehicle for sale. Guys on that forum that drove them they got 2 mpg empty, less when loaded. Also GMC built the tall Crackerbox tiltcab, all aluminum cab, and for a while they built an all aluminum truck, frames, frt axle, as much of the suspension as they could. I'm personally not a fan of the Detroit w cycle diesel engines, and I've driven them enough to know that noisey thing tires you out on 10-12 hour or more days. I can run a Cummins twice as long without getting tired as I can a Detroit. And if you have a Detroit that's not leaking oil, that means it's out of oil! Now, for the FORD FANS, look up the "Ford GAA V8 engine". Ford wanted to build a 1650 cid all aluminum V-12 aircraft engine for US built fighter planes. The V-12 never really found a market, but a V-8 based off the V-12 was used in the Sherman tank. Lots of them. So how does a 1100 cid all aluminum double over-head cam V-8 sound?
