I would not worry too much about trying to match CG to a specific truck, most camper manufacturers do a good job of putting the heavy stuff forward, like water tanks and batteries. It can become an issue if you put a camper designed for a 8' truck in a short bed, but even then you are usually...
Good luck with the new setup. I am in the same boat. I am scratching build a new lower section and extended roof of my Alaskan 8' cabover to include bigger north/south queen bed, heat and hot water, Thetford cassette toilet and indoor and outdoor shower. The shower will be minimal like FWC, just...
I personally don't care too much about detailing when I'm shopping, unless it's covered in dirt you can tell whether the paint is good and just needs wash and wax, or trashed.
