Going to swap an inline enging to a V-8 in a crew cab (1984) what am i going to be looking at in regards to exhaust pipes?

Depends on what exhaust manifolds the engine comes with.

     Well since the six is only 1 side and the v8 is both, sometimes they had a crossover and sometimes were true duals.  First check with your local inspection station and see what the laws are where you live about dual exhaust.  I know some places wont let you run duals unless your truck from the factory came that way.
