Default part # for plastic body pannel clips?

I tagged a stump with the quarter pannel the other day. Caved in the area between the rear wheel and the cab about a foot. I grabed the bottom of the pannel and pulled it back into alignment bare handed! From 5 feet you can't even tell! Showes how flimsy these "trucks" are. On the other hand, if it weren't so flimsy I couln't have bent it back. Anyway, the little plastic clips that hold the little plastic body pannel running around the bottom of the door at the rear of the (club) cab got broken so the pannel is flopping in the wind. I went to the dealer and they could not find the part numbers of the clips. Of course they could sell me the whole plasitic pannel but I didn't ask how much that would cost. Anyone have a part number for these.

Sorry to ruffle your feathers Mantis. Pretty looking truck you have there. But do you get off on old logging roads, carry bricks, gravel, fire wood, or other kind of work other than strutting? No, I don't worry about chrome strips or prety wheels or other bling, I use my truck for what a truck is suposed to be used for, work. The first thing I put into the bed of the truck was a simple light cabinett that wrinkled the front wall as I pushed it in-unbelievable. Loading fire wood, a little 1" X 16" branch hit the top rear of the cab and dented it big time. I was absolutely shocked at the depth of the dent. I hit the rim of the bed with a couple of other pieces of wood and dented that too. These would have bounced off my old truck with out a thought. I'm not talking of bashing it aound but what I would consider normal us for a truck. I've learned I have to treat this thing with kid gloves. Compared to my old 87 Jeep Commanche this truck is flimsy. When you have plastic body pannels held on by tiny and weak plastic fasteners you have a gurly truck. However, when this thing is loaded it will haul the weight. I have the heavy duty suspention and have hauled 1500 lbs of bricks with out a fuss.
