I used a mechanism out of a toyota hilux with the handle on the inside. Cost about $80 for a full hilux tailgate and fittings. Cut up the part that the handle mounts to and welded it into the bolt-on section inside the datsun tailgate - the SR5 version is best to use if you do this as it is fairly flat around the handle. The mount the side bits were thay need to be. Some spacers will be needed to get the right spacing between the tailgate and body parts of the latches.
Sorry but i don't have any pics atm.
