In my experience, you will need custom brackets to install running boards on your specific vehicle reguardless how simular they will be. If you were going from a 2003 Dodge Pickup to a 2004 I would be possible, but since there is a design change from 1997 to 2004 you will need to get new hardware AT LEAST. I've tried this on a 1998 to a 2002 chevy and it did not work. The running boards also have different mounting hole locations in most cases.

That being said, I would highly recommend avoiding the headache and getting bars for your new 2004 Dodge Pickup like these # 23-2325. These are confirmed to fit your truck.
