You would get soot everywhere and probably die or at least get sick every time you drove the truck due to in-cab exhaust.

What Fordafied said. It's much more dangerous on a gas engine because of the CO in the exhaust. (well not so much anymore due to the catalytic converters)
CO when you breath it will latch onto your red blood cells in place of the oxygen. You basically suffocate to death even though you have enough oxygen in the atmoshere. Your blood cannot carry it to your body and you die of hypoxia.
Want to play with that?

and it is probably against the law, i think all states require the exhaust to exit behind the last window and extend out past the body either to the side or rear
