If you have a Styleside, any 97-03 except Flareside or SuperCrew.

So even if it were a F350 these would fit?

No, a F-150 or a F-250 LD (which looks exactly like a F-150).

Yes,
1999-2016 Super Duty tailgates are interchangeable with 97-03 F150.
The SD tailgate from 08-16 uses a different left side hinge to actuate the built in torsion lift spring. Hinge cost me about $15 with tax at a Ford dealership. Also the 08-16 are the ones with "Super Duty" lettering stamped into the tailgate.
So yes, you can easily upgrade a 97-03 F150 to a Super Duty tailgate with built in step and camera.

The tail lights are also interchangeable. The early ones are an exact fit and the later SD tail light housing will bolt onto the 97-03 F150 body but are wired different.
