The paper payload has very loose connection to actual truck capacity and you should know that by now.
Most of GVR are settled with registration/insurance fees in mind, while SRW trucks usually are limited by tire ratios.
That said, I was using my F250 flatbed heavily and with the best tires I could find in 16" size and helper bags, I was loading 4300lb of gravel on it just fine.
But I was shoveling the gravel mostly behind the cabin, so big part of the weight went on front axle.
With camper or other solid load you will not have such option and depends on the length, the weight distribution can lower that capacity by as much as 50%
