Question about adding a camper + rigging to a 70 GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, I was thinking of getting a camper to add to the truck, but I am missing the rigging to hold down the camper. First question is, where would a person start looking for this gear? (rigging to tie down the camper) And how would you go about installing it?

Would a camper be too much for a 1970 GMC 1500? (got the 350 V8, stock 3 in the tree, etc.)
Was wondering if the weight might be a problem? I've hauled some wicked ass loads in this truck already with no problems. It seems like the truck is a rough ride until you throw a couple hundred pounds into the back!
