Default Oil filter

I own a '63 GMC 4000 series dump truck that I use to plow snow with. With a 9 foot quick switch Fisher plow, a set of "triples" on both dual wheels and a load of rocks, its a real beast. I live in Northern Maine and so far (knock on wood) my old truck has made short work of any snow storm that Mother Nature has been able to dish out. My question is this. According to the optional equipment sticker on the inside of the glove box, it has the 351 V-6. It also has a 2 quart oil filter. I have been told that the filter is spring loaded and can be a real bear to change. I can see that there is only a few inches of clearance between the filter "can" and the exhaust pipe. Can anyone tell me what kind of a mess am I going to get into changing the oil filter? Thanks
