You might get some fumes in the truck when ideling. Should at least turn them out in front of the tires.
Thats how I run all my trucks because tail pipes don't last long backing into snow banks, and windrows a dozen plus times a storm.

I agree with blazin, also make sure no wiring or anything else that can melt is in the way of the exhaust. I ran My old 77 with a 383 and straight headers ( headers and collectors nothing after the collectors :D) and I watched my rubber floor mat start bubbling going down the road... You wouldn't think it but the exhaust gas can heat some stuff up quick.
