Welcome to the board from Ohio...lots of good info on here.
One thing you may have not noticed with the late model beds, the wheel wells don't match, and the lower portion doesn't line up very well.
It is known what I think of this swap, but don't let me or anyone else stop you if that's what you want. You could repair the tail lights and replace the tailgate cheaper than you may think.
Anywyas, welcome to the board and don't be afraid to ask questions.
