Will 8 foot camper fit in 6-6 bed

If it isn't made for a short box it wont fit a short box for all of the reasons above. The center of gravity is designed to put most of the weight of the truck camper on the rear axle. If it's designed for a long box yes the COG will be too far back. Yes there are many long campers designed for short box use but utilize the above theory.

There are some short bed designs that are simply the long bed camper with added skirts and even storage boxes in the back which means they would actually have a more rearward COG than the long bed model would on a short bed truck. So in some cases 'short bed model' means nothing more than 'looks nice on a short bed truck'.

Whether it a long bed camper works on a short bed truck is as much to do with structural design as it is COG as a previous poster mentioned,
