Before you go for cab & chassis do your homework.
Those usually come with longer wheelbase design for 10' body. I was able to put 8' bed on mine, but I had to custom weld brackets and I can't use tailgate as frame stick behind the bed.
Love the beefed up suspension and lower purchase price, but custom welding is not for everybody.
Coming back to flatbeds. They usually add 2-3" height to the floor. Not a big deal for average camper, but mine camper come with basement and attic, so even with regural bed I am over 12' tall.
