I suppose you could wade thru the AMK catalog,
http://www.amkproducts.com/Catalog_PDF.htm
but for $8 minimum shipping I'd advise putting a list together.
Should be easier to go to your local fastener supply house and get an equivalent.
You'll have to consider a number of factors.

The original windshield molding retaining clips were not attached with rivits but a weld in stud that the clip slid on to. I guess if your missing one, a simple 1/8 inch pop rivet would work.

For service and to replace a broken stud on the assembly line, Ford used a screw, 376560-S100 8-18X3/8L truss head 3/8dia. This applies to 64 thru 68 and I see no reason not to use the same repair for 69 and 70. The bad news is that it is not available from AMK, but with the spec listed you might find a replacement.
