Default Re: 41 pickup tailgate dilema

You are correct in that the top rail is flattened to add section modulus for stiffness. Northern Classic does have a way to flatten that section in their excellent reproduction bed for 40 and 41 without the logo. I do not think the other vendor flattens that section. I had an interesting discussion with Todd about how he figured out how to do that. As a fellow tooling guy, I cannot tell his "trade secret". The beds he makes are terrific.
Just an opinion
