Its a little hard for me to do any more than just eyeball stuff since I ripped off the bed and rear leafs on my truck too but it seems that the tips should exit somewhere right around the place where the front spring hanger is located on the stock suspension. That's not far off the spot I'd likely be mounting the front of a 4 link setup so it looks like I'll probably be clear for running it out that way and not hanging up on the suspension. The stock '59 frame itself seems to offer plenty of room to fit the exhaust tubing in between the bottom of the rocker and step and the underside of the frame.
