Can anyone assist with a list of required body and chassis plugs or know of a vendor that offers a complete set?
Thank you!
I am not sure if anyone offers a complete set, but the Mopar parts book might help with identifying all the plugs needed. A vendor that I know of that should have most or all of them would be Quirey Quality Design; they have taken over Gary Goers' products. You'll have to look through the old Goers catalog (linked at the top of their website) and then call Quirey to order. They may be able to help with identifying what you need as well, but I would be prepared with what you think is the correct order list.

@EdwardPetrus may also have input on this.
Pretty certain no kit exists so you will need to order individually. It's likely that the body plugs DeSoto used are not unique to MoPar. Suggest you look through generic offerings from the following sources:

Good luck!

I appreciate the responses and information David, Mark and Ed. I didn't know if there was anything special I needed to be aware of. You are all correct as there does not seem to be a kit available as there was with my 68 Charger.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to all!

Can any of you tell me if these are typically the rubber or plastic plugs or a combination of both?
Thanks, Matt
@mattrizzi as far as I know, they were rubber back then, but @EdwardPetrus could confirm that with his three '57s.
