First, that is a really cool truck.
I see several problems with hauling a TC. Mainly the cab is too tall. You wouldn't want to drop the camper any. You'd probably need to raise it up to clear the cab. On my camper the distance from the bottom of the camper (that would sit on the bed) to the bottom of the cabover (that would need to clear the cab) is just under 48".
Also, the location of your exhaust stacks, assuming they're functional, would be blowing hot exhaust right up on the front of the camper. I suspect it would at best turn the camper black and at worst melt it.
If you can loose the stacks and get a level bed floor about the height of the back part of your aux. fuel tank it might work.
