You know, those plastic things that you use to mount the rubber trim onto the little zits coming out of the sheetmetal. I'll be darned, but I can't find them anywhere, and I broke a few of the stock ones when I took the truck to be painted.

Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if they're national, but in the Seattle area, we have an auto body supply store called WESCO - they carry every body and trim part imaginable, or have a good source to order it.

Otherwise, check with Eastwood.com...maybe

I ran into this problem when I painted my truck, but unfortunately, I grinded all of the "zits" off the sides and had to re-attach them. That was a pain. What I found though is that you really don't need as many that are on there to hold the trim into place. I broke several of mine off as well when I removed them. I ended up using some metal caulking to help "hold" the trim onto the body as well as the clips, and so far I have had no problems at all.

Begle,

PM me the last 9 of your VIN and confirm that you are wanting the clips that secure the body side moulding on the truck and I can check availability for you tomorrow.

I had a rear tire tread seperate on the way to KC to pick up my camper. No body damage but sheared every one of the moulding clips. Went to the u-pull-it and got 12 clips from trucks and ramchargers for a couple of bucks. Had to go to 3 diferent yards to find the rear side moulding for a long bed. Any dodge truck clip will fit. I thought that I had saw some on the help isles in parts stores for a lot less than 6 bucks apiece. Good Luck.

Hastings auto parts might have them (if you have a Hastings in your neck of the woods)
