Chuck,
Here are some pictures of the original type fastener for the belt moulding.
Part # 2356 from Restoration Supplies will work as a replacement. See page 125 of their online catalog.
You will have to remove the trim from the inside of the center pillar in order to install this piece properly. This needs to be done carefully as the backing material is quite fragile. I've had good luck in the past by using a narrow putty knife inserted behind the trim and moving it vertically until it hits the retaining pin which is like a serrated nail then prying it loose with a screwdriver between the back of the putty knife and the metal center pillar.
