I had an 8' cab over camper on my 65 C-10 Longbed that was made in the early/mid 70's. It was great for camping but was very, very heavy.

If you're going to get one (a newer one should be considerably lighter) I would strongly suggest replacing the rear springs (I used Moog "Cargo Coils" part # CC603) as well as rear shocks (probably better to just replace them all depending on what you have and their age).

All this work really shined with the camper installed on the truck once I installed a Helwig rear sway bar.

YMMV
