That's a really cool truck, and a very nice hauler bed too. :)
Instead of trying to modify the hauler bed to make it fit a camper, I would remove the bed and replace it with a simple flatbed, 8' long, with only a short front wall, to the bottom of the rear cab window. Mount the flatbed, so it is spaced up from the truck's frame rails high enough that the camper can sit right on the flatbed deck, and the front overhang of the camper can clear the cab roof by 2 to 4 inches.
This will make it much simpler to mount the camper and you can sell your nice hauler bed to recoup the cost of the flat bed, or keep it and re-use it at some future time.
