payload 1,550
problem is if i wanted to put a lance 650 on the truck it would be to short to fill the
bed length wise.
i know that 1,550 lb pl limits me weight wise, but it appears all campers are made for 5.5' or 6.5' beds, unless you have a 1 ton truck.
i also do not want a pop up truck camper.
You just don't seem to get it. You cannot carry a hardsided camper on a 1500 truck. Even a popup is a problem. Northstar makes popup that will fit your truck. The dry weight without any accessories is just short of your payload of 1550#. That does not include you, any passengers, 17 gal of water, propane, food, or a pair of shoes.
Since you are nearby, I strongly recommend you call or even better visit Bill Penney at Truck Camper Warehouse. He can give you options but they will not be what you seem to want.
