Doh! You pays your money and takes your chance. I have built up my Dodge 2500 to be able to carry a hard side camper by adding another set of secondaries (overloads), adding Stable Loads, and going with super singles or duplex rr and using higher rated tires. It came with one set of secondaries as a part of the Camper Package. Except for the tires, it was the de facto SRW one ton in 2001. The net result is the Lance on Dodge height is only 10 ', 2" to clear and only 86" wide, and the aggregate weighs 10,200 pounds. I think your camper on the IH will be quite a bit taller. Just thinking of all those trees in B.C. The deal breaker is your CVWR. My Dodge has only a 19,300 pound load rating. Yours is way beyond that.
I'm amazed you found a (looks like) Dana 80 front axle for your conversion. Now you need to worry about a transfer case that will work. I suggest a divorced NP205 so you don't have to fool with mating the trans/t.case. You seem to have all the basses covered. Does the new one have an AAM or a Dana 110 rear axle? What about traction aids? Locker or limited slip? If it's a D80 I suggest a Power Lok. Old tech, but the clutches are cone shaped and the secret is they are under preload, so there is a lot of twist migrating out to two wheels. In my view, it's the one that will hold up to a heavy truck camper. Further, you might consider a tray or flat bed for the camper part. three or four point would work well since you want to do some off-roading. Nice project.
In the dim dark past i had an IH project rig: 1980 IH Scout II Traveller, Nissan 3.3L turbo diesel, 118" WB. Great family rig.
