Does any one have the small retainer clips for the chrome strip that runs along the windshield above the dash? I need 3 of them. I can't find the buggars anywhere. Thank you kindly. I've seen similar clips but they're larger than these.

 

C0AB-6404439-F .. Instrument Panel Moulding Retainer Clip / Obsolete ~ No Ford dealer ore obsolete parts vendor has any.

1960 Ford Galaxie / 1961/66 F100/1100 Custom Cabs / 1965/66 F100/250 Ranger / 1963/69 N/NT500/1000 Custom Cabs / 1967/69 F800/1000 Custom Cabs.

1969 F100/350 Custom Cab/Ranger & 1970/72 F100/350 Ranger/Ranger XLT (no front of dash chrome strips).

 

If you have a clip or 2 and the strip hit some of the older body shops in your area to see if they have something that will work.


In the old days body shops had bins full of different types for cars & trucks they did work on.

the ones for the center of the dash were easy to find on fleabay , the very small ones for the trim at the windshield i still have no luck finding but i look at every swap meet i go to and when i find any i will buy all they have and let everyone on the forum know .

 

Look at these on page 45. It's pdf. Set the view on 100% and compare what you have to these. There might be something close. https://mrgusa.com/fasteners/

 

I'll bet its #4322....same era and make. That's a great catalog Crop Duster. I have a second set I was going to send Darrell but, unfortunately, I haven't been able to find my "first" set....still looking.

 

I have tried the 3/8x1/2 ones in the windshield trim of my 66 .... still too big to get in there .

 

I wonder if a plastic push rivet will work on these? The head could be trimmed to fit the hollow of the trim piece or trim the head and make a square washer that fits in the trim like the original clip.

 

Thanks for all your suggestions and links. I'll take a closer look at Mr. Gusa's page.

 

possibly but i would rather have the stability and holding power of an all metal clip

 

Ordered the part from Mr. G's. As you can see it's a little wider at the base so it wouldn't slide into channel. With a little gentle persuasion with pliers it fit just fine.
I was able to squeeze wide part down so it slid into channel no problem
