Plastic body clips (screw anchors?)

[aztoyman]

I need to get new plastic clips for my cab so I can reattach some items. Does anyone know of a good source for maybe a kit or variety pack or do I need to find each part number and get OEM parts?

I ran across this place browsing for some stuff the other day, haven’t made an order yet but they have a bunch of Toyota clips and stuff.

Thanks gnob, I remember that now that you mention it. I'll have to rig something or replace my sills.

This is another site. It has a TON of items listed and it gives the original Toyota part number as a comparison. However, I found none of what I needed for my 86 based on the original Toyota numbers I looked up by my VIN. Maybe they will fit based on size? It looks like I may have to order OEM clips.

Here’s what I did for my door trim. I used a Dremel to open the holes to fit the nylon nuts and cut off the trim piece that goes into the hole originally.

@Mudder, thanks for posting that solution. Good idea. What size square holes do they fit? Do they work in any of the other spots on out trucks?

I did not try them in other spots. I’ll get some measurements today of the clip if I have any left and post them up.

.319” x .29” is what it measure out to be. I went with them since they were easy to find at O reillys and I don’t have to special order anything.
