81-82 grille side molding retainer clips

Hi, longtime lurker here, but I really enjoy this site. I'm near to end rebuilding my 82 Silverado. I've had it for 25 years and spent the last 3+ rebuilding it. I will upload more photos, if I can figure out the build thread.

I still have my original grille trim, I cleaned and installed, but I'm trying to find the clips that go behind fenders for grille side molding trim, near headlights. The studs for the side trim have an end cap on them and are not for nuts, but rather a clip of some kind. They've been gone so long I don't remember what they looked like. See images attached. Could someone help with what they are called. Summit has many that look close, but not sure. Thank you.

I'll have some spare parts when all this is done, not in the best shape, but they could help somebody.

Have you looked at clipsandfasteners.com? I have had good luck in finding clips & grommet, that are hard to find.

Maybe not in stock on their site, but it helped me find the #. Thanks!

Re: 81-82 grille side molding retainer clips

I found there is two types, but most I have seen have been that type GM part# 14022878.

I have found one other type as being steel I pick them up in a yard. When I had to take out a grill to make it easy to get to the pulleys crank bolt. never seen any other one like them.
