The difference between short bed and long bed trucks is the section of bed forward of the axle. Putting a short bed camper on either length bed will still put the camper CG in the same location and is acceptable.
You will have 1-2' between the cab and camper. You will need to build a frame to keep the camper from sliding too far forward and damaging your truck tail lights. What you can carry in that section will be limited to how much weight capacity you have remaining. You will most likely not be able to put hundreds of pound of fuel and batteries there, but it will be a good place to carry a small generator and gas can or your lawn chairs and pop up shade.
