Restoration Specialties Supply, 148 Minnow Creek Lane, POBox 328, Windber, PA 15963 814-467-9842 ask for Jeff or Bill

 

Thanks vtwhead!

 

I always try to look at the obvious places first. El Camino store website dosent show they carry them. Thanks for the help though.

 

check out Ecklers. I just got clips for my 59 from them this week. not sure if 60s are the same or not. but give em a shot.

 

Shouldn't this be listed in the Wanted section?

 

Try Auveco. Com. They have every clip and fastener known to man.

 

Thanks for all your help guys!! Ill run all these leads down and see If I can come up with the clips. Please let me know if you hear of anything else.

 

Do you have a picture of what they look like? A lot of the older Chev trim clips were t-bolts.

 

I will too!

 

I dont have any pics... I wish I did, my truck came without them. Ive also started looking for 60 chevy manuals that have the trim and clip Info for 60 el camino, hopefully there will be good pics. I tried calling vtwheads lead (sounds promising!) but Bill no longer works there and Jeff wont be in till monday, Ill try back then. If anyone has pics, could you please post them! Thanks for all your help guys!

 

I have a drawer chock full of old N.O.S. trim clips from the 40's, 50's and 60's but I'd need to know what they look like.

 

These are the best pics Ive been able to come up with so far, Ill keep working on finding better pics. The last pic is so you can see the shape of the holes for the clips.

 

I think the outside clips screw to the pinch weld

 

some caddy clips will work also. i think there is a universal clip that you cut to size that would work. let us know what you use.

 

your local auto body supply store should have all sorts of different clips.

 

I made mine from sheet steel and studs, piece of cake and they cost almost nothing.

Drill a bunch of holes in sheet metal, weld a stud in them then put them in the holes, place the trim over the top, trace the steel where the trim fits and then cut them to fit.

 

Here is another place that you can check out.

The best thing to do is pull one of the clips that you have and compare it with what's available.

I used to cut and modify clips to make something that would work, because you can't always get the correct clip. Like Waddayacare, I have a stash of clips that I've collected over the years. I know that I don't have any 60 ElCamino specific clips though.

 

Miami Rubber Co in Cincinnati carries all kinds of clips

 

This is why the HAMB is so great! there are a lot of guys with valuable info willing to share it. Thanks again guys, lots of good tips and leads! Hopefully Ill find them soon, if not, Ive got a lot of good options! Ill post it when I finally figure it out so others can use the info.

 

Dave Kosman of trim restoration had the clips!

 

Ok, I just seen this post. I most likely have the clips (have/had 3 59-60 elcos). If you still need a picture I can see if I can find some. If the clips you found are not the ones you can pm me.
