Default Tailgates interchangable?

I had a friend tell me he had seen a 97-03 f150 that had the new 2010-2011 tailgate on the back.
Is this possible without seriously modding the tailgate?

I also don't think it works with the styleside beds, only the straight beds...

I have a 03 fx4 super crew, so a f250 superduty tailgate would fit on my truck with no mods?

Correct except for 2008 up you need to change the left hinge to the 2008+ superduty mount for the spring assist to work.
