Been chewing on this one for a while now and I'm surprised at how I've never once seen it brought up anywhere.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangbusters_(role-playing_game)
Context: It's four more years until GURPS sees a first edition release. 3 more years until Oriental Adventures(NWPs!) & Unearthed Arcana for AD&D.
Was Gangbusters the source for a lot of their content? ...Maybe! But I find the rules rather advanced for the time period either way.
The book includes descriptions for all the skills, I won't include it to keep this brief.
Pages upon pages of possible careers and descriptions, ranging from paperboys to FBI agents and gang bosses.
Crime rules
How to operate a prohibition-era bar
Rules for NPCs
various special rules
rules on how to get a loan
legal system rules
optional expert rules
Wow is it a lot of content packed into 64 pages.
