If I am wrong, someone will correct me.

Patrick, I'm not really concerned about where it exits,I'm planning to use various pipes to make make up a duel system for My long bed Champ. I really was wondering about just the portion of a Lark tail pipe that goes over the rear end,would it make the cut ?

Believe majority of trucks exited behind the rear tire so as to avoid the rear hanging spare.

Best thing to do is have the muffler shop make up the pipe to fit especially if your intending on a DUAL system. The one problem with a DUAL system is the left side being where the gas tank takes up so much room. The shop may recommend the left bank pipe cross under & run parallel with the right. that could work well being mufflers are available with DUAL inlets in one muffler. Then the 2 pipes could exit together, unless you don't want that & challenge the muffler shop to a duel!59 Lark wagon, now V-8, H.D. auto!
