Mazda bed on Ranger frame?

Crazy thought: can a B2500 bed replace the stock Ranger bed? I need to repair a fairly large hole beneath my drop-in bedliner on my Ranger, but been contemplating a bed swap. Saw a B2500 with the subtle flareside drive by the house yesterday, then found a 2000 B2500 at a local JY in good shape. What do you think about bolt holes lining up on my 03 XL? Any complications you foresee? I feel like this might be nuts, but it would be kinda cool? Plus it would come with the three-light taillight assemblies, so two birds.... Thanks!

Yes, 1993-2011 Ranger and Mazda B-series 6ft beds can be swapped, same mounting holes to rear frame, have to use Mazda Tailgate as far as I know, but measure to be sure

But as said the all the Mazda beds have flares, and Mazda front fenders also have the flares so on a Ranger it will look different
