HELP with finding the correct moulding clips

ive got a 73 highbiy with the upper chrome trim that stops short of the side marker lights. The trim is much narrower than the trim that surrounds the side marker lights. Because of the size difference, the moulding clips I've found from LMC are too wide. Can anyone point me in the right direction for finding these for the narrow trim? Can anyone also explain the trim difference? I see the wide style much more often. First pic is the current project status of my truck.
thanks in advance.

Do you have a local Fastenal? Or NAPA? Both carry a variety of different trim clips that should work.

The larger wider trim with the black plastic strip is way more common, and the clips are available from many vendors. The thin chrome only strip is quite UNCOMMON to that point it is rare.
