Question Changing a Fleetside to a Flareside bed?

I'm new to this site and have a question about changing my Styleside bed into a Flareside bed. I bought my 99 Super Cab with the plain Fleetside bed new for 13,990 one year ago in May. It had abosolutely no options installed at the factory. You get what you pay for, but now that the truck is paid off, I'd like to change the bed to the more stylish flareside model. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is feasable and approximately how much this would cost me. I'm very handy and feel that I can handle the labor myself (actually, with the help of some friends). Thanks for the replies.

Cost,don't know. Can be done? YES. My Flareside was in the body and when I went to pick it up a LOBO (F-150 from Mexico) was in getting the very thing done. The new Flareside bed was sitting there waiting for paint. I think it would also call for a new rear bumper.
