Congrats! Beautiful truck, you'll love it.
DuraFlaps are excellent, and will go on using the existing holes in the fender well. I have them and love them. Just google DuraFlaps, and you'll find their website.
I think nowadays a "standard" bed is the 8', and the 6 1/2 is a short bed. When I searched for my Ford, I just had to educate myself on cab configuration and wheel base combos. Moot point now, but yeah, you'll love having the 36 gal fuel tank the 8' box gives you. Also, you won't need a sliding hitch for the fiver.
No 5th wheel prep actually will give you more choices when you go install the 5th wheel.
I wouldn't hesitate to tow that light of trailer with just a drop hitch on that truck, but going down hills, or in windy conditions you'll want some form of sway control. Having said that, it won't hurt a thing to get W/D bars to return the trucks stance to unloaded measurements. That way your headlights won't be pointing any higher also.
Get that 5th wheel soon, as that diesel just begs to be worked hard!
Good luck, and enjoy
