Seems like so many of us are in need of this item. I am out of ideas. I have seen older posts of some after market ideas, but nothing recent. Anyone know if another Brand or other model Toyota with tailgate which may fit?

Have you checked with all the usual suppliers of used parts?
cruiserparts.net
fjparts.com
sor.com
etc..etc...
Must be someone parting out a pig that could supply you with one.
If you pm me your email, I will see if I can find one for you from some characters that I know.
-in terms of compatibility with other Toyota tailgated models - answer is no, unless modified (probably ,extensively )...

Are we to assume, then, this being classifieds and all, that you need a tailgate handle?
How desperate are you for a handle, any handle?
I have a handle that may be serviceable, if not pretty.
Pulled this one off of a '69. PO had obviously drilled a hole through one of the mounting bolt holes and used a large sheet-metal screw to secure it to the door.
Probably possible to fill that hole, re-tap or insert that original bolt hole. Or just use a large sheet-metal screw...
Otherwise, it's a fine handle.

What did you do with this handle? If you still have it, how much you want for it?
Good find!
I am going to investigate the costs behind prototyping a reproduction as well. I will post updates as I have them...
