Dash trim clips

Anyone know where I can get the clips that hold the dash trim on. I bought trim off internet but did not come with the clips.I need to also find the proper location for the holes.

Holes are 1/8" For the small piece you need two for the longer piece six. place one @ 3/4 inch in from each end and space the remaining four evenly. I use a chine marker and line the edge of the trim and drill accordingly above it.

The clips are available at NAPA in their doorman hardware bins. They are 1/2" standard wire trim clips.

NO WAY! Love the 300! build it to have some get up and go, but will always have that LOW end torque!

Last one had a .480 lift cam, offenhauser 360 4V intake and holley 390 with EFI cast hedders.....I ran that truck for 309,000.00 Miles before the frame fell apart and i could not find enough real metal left to fix it. A 86 F150XC 4x4 with a T19 and 3.73 gears. Pulled a good 18 to a gallon and only let me down a time or to. Towards the end i would park in my driveway and find it in the morning in the ditch across the street.
