I assume "north/south" bed means you sleep "long-ways" instead of crossways, which makes the overhang longer. We have such an animal on our Dodge extended cab. You can see the front end of the camper, but its not out there far enough to be a problem.
But with a regular cab, I'm not so sure. I'd measure the overhang on a camper on a lot, then measure how far out front it would sit on your rig. Then lay a piece of plywood on top of your cab, extending out that far, and see if it will be a problem. Be aware that you can get a little prism to mount on the dash to be able to see traffic lights in your Hudson with an outside visor on it.

We have to have the camper so Mrs. (WA) can tow her horse trailer, but would go back to a trailer if we didn't have to tow anything.
