Mike,
I'm going through that drill now also! :)
The exhaust pipe is nominal 2" because of descriptions of the internal central
muffler pipe being 1.75" and smaller than external pipe..in the shop manual. My
50 is stock and the header pipe off the manifold was 2" and it is original as
far as I can tell. There should be a bracket that supports the muffler with an
external strap and a tail pipe support clamp that is off the frame just a couple
of feet back. Yes the exhaust is generally straight back, over the axle and
under the bumper.
The 1948-49s used "reverse" flow mufflers and 50-51 are "straight through"
types. Not sure if Chevy Duty replacements follow that spec but that's the
idea.

On mine, it's just as you say. It goes all the way back to the bumper on the
drivers side. I'm guessing that it is 1 1/2" Dia.
