i would also do a good tune up,change the oil,diff fluids and stuff like that before i would start on cosmetics. no truck looks good when it is broke down.

and after that do what ever tail lights you like,its your truck. ebay has lots of different designs.

Check out www.lmctruck.com. They have a pretty decent headlight/taillight selection...

If you have the complete engine, tranny, pcm, etc., I'd say it would be a matter of probably new motor mounts and locations, transfer case mating, perhaps driveshaft modification...these are pretty general things...but normal for an engine swap. Someone else could probably help you more. I would talk to a Dodge mechanic about it...
