I bought as many OEM pieces as I could when it was still available
The 79 and 80 SA each have different styles strips. Maybe an auto trim shop would have some chrome (plastic) wheel well-trim that would work? The SA pieces are just glued in-place and quit easy to remove, leaving a blank slot that you could lay the "new" moulding into??
Doors are a different story Whole panel would need to got to someone like JustDashes - and we're talking $$...
