Talking 2008 tailgate

Has anybody ever put a 08 F150 tailgate on a 98 F150?
My brother gave me a new one he took off his truck and I need a new gate. Any help on what I need to do.

What I'd like to have to try is the tailgate from a 08 F250 SD ..... and the tail lights. The bed looks the same as the older models and that 08 gate says SUPER DUTY on the bottom. The lights stick out a bit and have the backup lamp on top.
