The truck camper payload has nothing to do with the trucks payload. Make a trip over to the TC forum and let some of those guys explain.
Anyhow looking at Fords '01 spec pages show a truck camper payload of 2515 to 2684 lbs for the F350 cc 7.3 truck.
Then on the payload pages it shows the F350 SRW cc 7.3 with a 3280 to 3350 lb payload. Looks like another well matched combo like others have said.
Trucks don't carry weight determined by the GVWR. Like all truck your F350 SRW carries weight determined by the axle/tire load numbers.
Many older F350 SRW truck may have around 2800-2900 on the rear axle that has a 6830 lb rating. Subtracting the two has around 3800 lbs for a payload.
Best method is weigh the trucks front and rear axle separately. That way you have the actual numbers to work with.
Short bed ??
A short bed truck with a crew cab has a 156" wheel base which will have no problems pulling any legal length trailer.
IMO much gets put in print about a long bed truck handles better than a short bed truck. That was true many years ago when short bed trucks ran in the 118"-122" wheel base range and our long bed truck ran in the 130-134" wb range.
Todays short bed trucks may start in the 140" wb range and go up in wb length. Bed length is a moot point but handling is more to do with wheel base.... to a certain point.
