Mileage is at that “critical” point where it may be needing repairs/maintenance sooner rather than later - tires, battery, glass, front end, brakes, fluid changes not to mention compression/transmission. Probably best to get a thorough inspection done to know for sure what you are dealing with and can budget for it.
An 8’ box is great but the 8’+ campers are both heavy and fast losing their value with mostly 6’ boxes now. You might want to check out some campers designed for 6’ boxes that will fit inside an 8’ box or rest on the tail gate - less weight (perhaps no air bags needed). Tie downs can be a pricey item but a bolt on/weld on belly bar and a 2” square tube through the back bumper may work on this truck.
