The fifth wheel and bed rails are universal, so they will fit any truck. The frame brackets are vehicle specific and can vary from year to year. In your case, the Reese frame brackets are the same for both years. Both the 2010 Ram 2500 and 2003 Ram 2500 short bed trucks use the universal bracket kit, part # RP30035-186.

For a custom install kit that requires less drilling and install time, you can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, item # RP50140-58, as long your truck is not a model with gas engine and overload springs.
