No Clevelands ever installed in trucks so there are no apps. You will have to do as suggested and make something work. It could bolt up but hit something 6-8 inches away because it was made for a car.

The Cleveland uses a std small block bellhousing, the M's used a different pattern and aren't interchangeable.
Since 73-up trucks came with M's and the heads are basically the same, the header should bolt to your Cleveland motor. It "should" fit your earlier chassis? No guarantees!!

Getting a M or C to fit the truck isn't much of a challenge, headers for a C in a truck could be. Head bolt patterns for the exhaust can be doable. The struggle can be getting the tubing to get down & out.
You can probable figure it out with with a torch & a big hammer.

Not that it makes much difference.
However, as said, 351M/400 headers will bolt to most cleveland heads, though there could be a few oddballs in the cleveland world.
