41 pickup tailgate dilema

[oldrelics]

So heres my dilema: The original tailgate was manufactured with a "truss type" top rail, which means its tapered from both sides to the center of the gate. This gave it strength in the open position. I see on the reproduction gates it appears to be the same size tube all the way accross the top.

So I emailed Northern Classic Trucks and ask them about the top rail and they replied by email:
"It is designed as original as we have to be licensed by Ford Motor Company to sell them."

Can anybody confirm if the reproduction gate has the "truss type" top rail?
