Dean -If you look around that website you will see a couple pictures of a short box teal or blue-green GMC pickup, with the front frame fenders and hood extended so the V-12 would fit. I saw the owner just starting out hauling it to a big car show in Kentucky this weekend. He also has a steel tilt cab GMC semi-tractor with a V-12 in it. It looks brand new!
I spent quite a bit of time riding shot-gun in big V-6 powered semi-tractors as a kid. Dad hauled livestock for 3-4 different guys in the 60's and early '70's. IH trucks were most popular but GMC's were a close 2nd. The one guy even had a Toro-Flow diesel in a '64 or '65 Chevy. The IH Red Diamond 450-6 was the most popular engine in IH trucks in the 1960's, but the 478 cid V-6's in the GMC's ran away from them with ease. But the 477 and 534 Ford's were the real fast trucks.
I drove a '70's vintage IH FleetStar with a 478 V-8 for almost a year, not exceptionally fast, but amazingly reliable. It had sat for quite a long time before I started driving it. It took a couple thousand miles to get loosened up but would run 60-65 mph loaded or empty and get 3 mpg. Took a quart of oil every day running about 400-420 miles.
