While looking through messages on this forum for how to repair/replace the liftgate handle, all I could find mentioned as a replacement was the Explorer handle, which requires drilling the liftgate holes out. I poked around on the internet and found the exact replacement NOS Ford handle at (of all places) a locksmith supply website called carlocks.com, for $30. A disclaimer on the website says that they only sell to locksmiths, but I called them, and they said they often helped car clubs find obsolete parts. See the pictures below. The manufacturer part number is B-42-263.
