1992 Shadow Cruiser truck camper

Hi. I'm thinking of buying a 1992 Shadow Cruiser. I own a 2002 F350 dually truck. the camper is several hours from me, so I'd like to determine whether it will fit onto my truck before I make the drive. I've read that I will need swing-out jacks (?) because the duallys won't clear the existing jacks.

Other than that, should the truck/camper combo work? or since it's such an old camper is it possible it will still be hard to make fit?
thanks
Julia

Some other dimensions you need measure:

1. Cab over height - You may need to build up the bed floor to give the cabover a couple inches of clearance.

2. Bed rail height - The same build up you would do for the cab over clearance would be done to clearance the wings.

3. Tailgate opening width - Modern trucks flair the bed in the rear. Make sure that the widest part of any sub-wings fit through your opening.

When going to pick up the camper, leave the tailgate and any plastic bed liner at home, but have your tie down points already installed on the truck. Make sure you bring your turn buckles and rubber mat for your bed. Come with your rear tires inflated at maximum pressure unless you have a way filling them there.

Grated vice but don't forget to match the center of gravity
