Do you have the parts numbers? Your best bet may be to find a 2dr being parted. If I find one, I'll give you a heads up; if you do, please give me a heads up (I would not mind having a spare parts car for Buttercup, my 1972 NYB two-door).

Sorry for the cryptic message earlier -- was typing without access to my links. You can download the 1972 parts manual here:

Each model level of Chrysler had different side moldings. So model is important, not just body style.

Enjoy!

As you look for the correct parts, make sure that you also look into what clips (if any) you would be using. There are a number of threads about the correct clips, and how hard they are to find for some (most?) of the fusies. Your '72 Newport Custom looks like it has very smooth flanks, and I personally would be leery of drilling anything. At the same time, though I do not know if using double-sided tape might be an option. @saforwardlook @Big_John @david hill @71Polara383

when i bought the car there was a bag of clips in the truck so i do have something to work with

I am able to only find passenger side only for moulding. Not able to find anything for driver's side.
Can someone direct me to driver's side information?

Just to be clear, you need every single piece of side moldings for your car or just the driver door or ?????? If you get the part numbers of the parts you need and you really need them all, it won't be cheap if going for nos ones (which should have the clips with them when you get each piece).

If you need just one or two moldings and want nos, then I can look them up for you and tell you which vendors will have them.

When you see a part number like 1234567-8, 1234567 is one side 1234568 is the other side.

And to add to the above post, numbers ending in an even number are usually the right side and ones ending in odd numbers would be the left side.

If you can photograph the clips in the bag of clips you have. Posted here on this thread. And I will see if I can help you identify them. The rocker molding clips are very distinctive.
