You could buy these after-market at just about any place that sold automotive paint supplies. You have an extrusion that you cut to size and secure with pop rivets, end pieces designed for the application (the ones on the door were made to clear the fender when it opened) and the plastic piece that presses into the extrusion. It was sold by the foot and cut to length. These were a lot more sturdy than the flimsy factory door guards.
Here is a picture of my 1973 from the early 1990s. You can see the same type of trim with a black vinyl insert. That car had no door edge guard, I added it.
