You can try several places. Two I have had good luck with are restoration specialties and R J & L fasterners.

They both have a website.

How many do you need? All of them?

I got a couple of used ones from Bill Ward (founder of www.oldplymouths.com), a couple of mine were beyond repair.

Bill's e-mail address is: bward@xmission.com

You might also try Neil Riddle, he has an amazing supply of parts for these cars...

Here's another source:

Look at Page 129 in the PDF catalog. They list '49 Dodge and '51-'52 Plymouth with pictures. $3 bucks a pop. Not sure what the difference between '50 and '51 is, but I bet they would work...

Ed, do you know the difference between rocker trim for '50 and '51?

I would hazard a guess that they would work too. The bodies for 49-50 and then 51-52 are quite similar. The trim on a 50 is ribbed and 51-52 is just smooth. You would have to have a 50 trim clip to really compare to be safe.
