yes, no problem..
only difference is in the tailgate attaching pivot on the drivers side of the box, and the wiring harness to the taillights..
if your using your old tailights, just keep your current harness..
if your using your old tailgate, you will have to swap the drivers side pivot.
hope that helps..
for whats its worth i just updated my tailgate to a 08 on my 03 SD.

we just swaped beds and a bumper from an '10 to a '02 and it was a direct swap everything bolted/plugged in correctly. the new truck got a service body and the old truck got the new trucks bed.

I don't mean to hijack your thread but how do you remove the bed...thats a project for me this summer. Other then the bed bolts what else should I look for? Gas nozzle etc.. how much do you guys think a 6ft box weights?

i take them off almost daily. i take the bumper off, one wire connection for the plate lights then 4 bolts. then the gas spout which is 3 7mm bolts and push it down. then the bed bolts and your wire harness connection for the tail/rev lights then just lift it off. they dont weigh that much an 8ft box 4 guys can pickup. we use an overhead crain but have had to life them up to move them a few inches..ect
