The actual above the bed rails will be the same between the 2003 Ram 1500 and the 2014 Ram 1500 but you will need new frame brackets and hardware. The bracket kit is # RP50142 which comes with most of the hardware you will need for installation with the exception of u-shaped spacer blocks. Those blocks you can get with kit # RP58430.

To add a 7-Way in the bed that tees in with the 7-Way at the rear you can use # 50-97-410. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
