It wasn't the length that was wrong in the Heavy Chevy part, it
was the width and height. The part they supplied would not slip
over the large trim pieces. Below is an attempt to draw the end
view of the clip using text characters.

Maybe the same part for AD trucks is smaller like this?

Bill,
Just as a note, originally the lower two joining clips are about 40% longer
than the top two joining clips. Of course I cant find mine right now but the
tops were about .75 of an inch and the bottoms were about 1.25 inches. This
is from memory, not actual measurements.
What is the size you got from Heavy Chevy?
Which size do you need?

Somewhere in my garage is the fourth little "joint" piece
for the "deluxe" stainless steel windshield trim for 55.2
thru 59 truck. I've looked everywhere except where it is
and can find the other three pieces but not this one.
If you have one of the pieces that you could spare I'd offer
$10 + shipping for it. I bought one from Heavy Chevy, but
it is not actually original equipment and doesn't quite
fit right.
