Dash chrome strip retainer clips
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.

Does any one have the small retainer clips for the chrome strip that runs along the windshield above the dash and the front of the dash chrome strips that hide the leading edge of the padded dash?

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.

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 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.

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
