Also, if you're going after a used gate make sure it's the correct gate for your model truck. The F-1 tailgate is slightly smaller than the one used on F-2 & F-3 models.
BTW, here are the images from the Dan Carpenter web site pertaining to tailgates. Ford changed the design of the box, along with the tailgate in the mid 1950 model year:
'42 to mid '50:
Late '50 to '52
