Dwayne, now that would work, and I'm sure anyone taking up the task would have quite a few requests as long as it wasn't cost prohibitive. I find this situation rather peculiar as there are (or were) tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Datsun/Nissan King Cabs out there and am relatively certain, albeit not positive, that of all of the quarter window issues, the latch itself would rank the highest in need of a replacement just due to its design and plastic material being stressed, inevitably failing due to age and duty cycling, which then prompted my thread topic concerning the latch, or a substitute. i.e. are owners just coming up with a makeshift, jury rigged bent wire or coathanger affair to keep the window sealed up against gasket, or?
Here are a couple of pics:
