For my 1977 Dodge Diplomat coupe. I need side trim, bumper guards, taillight lenses, and I think that's it for trims. I have a base model, so I was wondering if anyone had stuff for sale, or would know where to find it.
I have some trim and related things i need replacing and/or fixing

Now you will see the fun or pain in the ass part of owning a fifty year old vehicle. You can search the internet
e-bay comes to mind or you can search automotive recycling yards hopefully you can find a yard that has older vehicles.
You can also post in the parts wanted section the things you need hopefully somebody can help you out.
Good luck in your search and have fun…

My guess is best bet is looking for lebarons because they made so many more of those?

Trim is different between the two…

I'll give you the same advice the Mopar old timers gave me; get a parts catalog for your year and start looking by part number.
Here's one for 1977 for sale on ebay: 1977 Chrysler Dodge Mopar Plymouth Car Parts Catalog Binder Manual Book OEM | eBay
A parts catalog will help you find the weird bits and pieces. And you'll pay less for those parts. A lot of eBay sellers don't know what they have or what car it belongs to, but they might put the part number in the description
This looks like it might be right for your car, I'm not 100% sure ebay.com link: Pardon Our Interruption...

Same as on mine and that is a 1978 model. I dusted off one of my shelves where I have parts that may fit your car. Those mouldings are indeed hard to come by but I manage a few years ago to find some in USA.
These are extra and I will gladly help you off if they are of use to you.

This could definitely be a possibility, I'll make sure to keep this in mind.

Could you give me the length of them just to be certain they're the right parts?

They are the correct parts as my car is identical to yours. A 1978 model built in November 1977 at St. Louis.
Here are the total length in cm

Thank you muchly, and I belive I can probably get those trim pieces you had shortly, if you're still offering them

Of course you can have them. They are just collecting dust at my place as my 1978 model G22 has the full set in Green.
Mine I got from USA and these came along as I bought all he had. Luckily he had the two door ones and and the two on
the drivers side for me.
I will take them home to Norway and check the postage cost.

You did the right thing! I have one myself bought in the 1990's from a company called Koller Dodge. They closed down in early 2000.
Enjoy the hunt.

Awesome! It really makes owning these cars a lot easier. If you set up ebay alerts, like "mopar 12345678" for example, you'll get an alert when someone lists something for sale.
