Question New Ram owner, question about bumpers

Hi, I just bought my first Ram, it's an 03 1500 QC with a 4.7 longbed.
I bought it with a tweaked rear bumper( looks like someone screwed it up while towing something) And I've been shopping around for a used bumper and found one with brakets and cover for $100,(when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is) but the guy just emailed me and told me the bumper was off of an 02, I didn't think it would fit because of the 03 being the first year of the 3rd generation.
Does anyone know if the bumper would fit or not?
This is my first Ram and I'm planning on doing a couple of mods to it, I love the truck and the way it rides and handles is great, very safe feeling. Love the story about the guy getting rear ended by a Subaru and the baby never woke up LOL.
My 2yr. old duaghter doesn't want to ride in the wifes Corolla anymore, she wants to ride in Daddy's "Cool Red beep-beep".(Can you blame her?)
Thanks for any info you guys can give me about the bumper

Thanks, that's great . I'm going to grab it, for that price I can't go wrong.
Any advise on switching the bumpers. I'm no mechanic but figured I could handle this Anything special I should know
