Re: exhaust drone?
I drove my 48 for over 100K with the tailpipe exiting in front of the rear tire with a pretty well blown out glasspack to look like I had a muffler. That was with 2 inch exhaust and yes it had a terrible drone. So did my 71 GMC with a 350 and glass packs and the pipe(s) exiting in front of the tires. It helps a bunch to get the exhaust to exit behind the rear wheel either angled out towards the corner or straight out the back. Since most likely you will never have a camper shell on it with people riding in the back straight out the back works fine. A good exhaut guy will cuss you a bit but usually can get around the Trailing arms.
The 3 inch might be a challenge but you could split that behind the muffler and run dual 2 inch pipes on out the back
