Default trading tool box for bed cap

Thinking about selling my aluminum truck bed tool box and getting a roof height bed cap. Still want to keep tools in my truck so possibly a bin. How possible would it be to swap out a stock tail gate handle for one from a cab door with a lock from a junk yard dakota? They look rougly the same size. Have been looking on local craigslist for caps and looks like I can get aleer or simular brand for 200-300 can sell my tool box for 100-150.
