Door panel clips

I'm looking for the correct clips to fasten the door panels to the doors. They are rattling terribly, and actually in decent shape, or I'd just screw them together.
A part number would be sweet. This is for Ka'Bluey, my 79 F150.
Thanks in advance

Unk Bob

I purchased some off eBay, I can't find the exact link. They look like this though.

I found some that were close at Orielly's.
But, the plastic is so hard and brittle the part the clip goes to just broke in my hands. So I put a screw in each corner for now. Maybe I can find some really good condition door panels later, then do it the right way.
I do appreciate your help though.
I did also spray some white lithium grease on the window regulators and now they are way smoother.

I appreciate that info Bill. After I get me some solid door panels, much later, I'll get those clips.
