If you want the exact replacement, then try reaching out to Murray Park - http://www.cbodies.com/

I needed a part for my 66 and he was able to help me out. It shouldn't be hard for him to find as it was likely used on all models around those years, so most of the mopars in his yard will likely have what you need. Give him a call, great guy!

Thanks for the lead!! Not shown on his site but I sent him an inquiry about them. I really need a whole bunch of them new, they rusted away pretty bad on the cars.

I think I may have just found what you are looking for... looks like it's called a barrel clip:

you did it1 thanks so much1 I had called them everything in the book - except "barrell clips"
I really want to replace them all, since the ones I have are compromised with rust etc. I will get 50 of them if I can find the right one and a part number.
Thanks again!

Using the correct nomenclature, I found them everywhere!! Size is a hard one to get accurate on though, but I got some coming from good ol Amazon!

I am hedging my bets, bought the batch from Amazon - and then an assortment from another vendor of different sizes
