have you at least drained the oil and see how much water you holding inside....just what was the high water mark on the truck as it sat in the flood area...this will tell you volumes.

you have not even removed the gasket that probably is holding the piece in place....

is this modeling steering wheel one that is currently doing a runway, magazine or internet approach at marketing.....? if you have a current aftermarket wheel in mind, check next if it supports your make and models car....else list your wheel you like and ask if anyone has used it successfully.

you did good, years ago these were not available....I made my own using a set of the headlight coils for the same car. The solution across the market at the time were the door jamb contacts...nice idea and with a set in hand determined these would never work....the A and B posts are not very suitable for this ilk...likely after a failed attempt you would be welding up the area and go to plan B....the ones you show are in my opinion the only manner to do the task but since then discovered another manner that will work. Suggest you study even these closely as the A-post on these models are not at all friendly for wiring looms. Alternate means can be done using similar products....but will be a bit more involved....

have fun with running the wires....it is clear you have not studied the manner the door is shaped and the hinges are recessed and further that will apply to any contacts for the most part.....suggest that if you wish to use contacts...do not consider the typical hot rod offerings...HOWEVER there are some that can be used, a walk through a wrecking yard is suggested.

while the Plymouth chassis and body was typically used with the shortened wheel base cars.....the Dodge features/trim/etc places them in the Dodge realm in the Canadian market...the very bumper on this screams Dodge....in this GRAY area one must be careful when buying some grille trim etc while it looks Dodge, it is not full sized Dodge and you end up with a part that is not useable. It has always been my view that the Dodge styling cues surpassed all the other sister....Dodge would be Cinderella with the DeSoto being the evil stepmom and the ugly sisters Chrysler and Plymouth....☺️ (as in all things lumped, there are exceptions)

then likely it is an add...who knows how the PO wired it....it appears by the fuse attached to be of German origins. Typical VW/Porsche style, only suggestion, wire it for the application you need so to do the task you wish AFTER ensuring the validity of its operation.

have you considered the possibility it is the horn relay?

I think a look under your car now and then and or to look through the pages of your work manual would prevent a lot of running about with the fear the sky is falling....it is not rocket science or leading edge development of any sort, as you state, it is just an old Plymouth that has been around for decades and is not in any manner self-evolving its mechanicals.

maybe we all are overlooking the fact he may have a pedal car, would explain a lot....😁

that is basically the recommended shock through 54...(was at one time the go to per rockauto)...worked on mine till I did the relocation to the frame.

while they are as you said "just shocks" they also have to be correct size and attachment configuration......also you could be a bit more proactive in your search.... Monroe 5752 for sale | eBay

odds are, if the PO repaired these there is likely new metal welded without the rectangular holes. If the PO patched these, there is likely just bondo where these hole may have been and good possibility the metal in not there to shape the hole anymore. You could well be kicking a can of worms here, can of tin worms that is. Best of luck on this exploration adventure.

as the rocker trim fastens in a manner that the lower edge hangs free from the car (clip design) with a car that does not have the rectangular holes for the stock clip, suggest mounting these with an aluminum plate, some 3/32 thick between the clip and the rocker. In mounting mine this is what I did and I am totally pleased with the results. Rocker covers often do not have the rectangular holes as a feature in aftermarket parts. You should be able to see these backing plates in place here. The most forward and aft brackets bolt in place...

if you have the part number shop about for better prices on name brands if that is important to you. If you do not have the part numbers, search here will get them, else any OTC online will net these also.....just be a bit proactive, none of this is really hidden knowledge.

suspension seems to be holding up well new twist to smashed Halloween orange pumpkin

yes tell her it was fine before she got there.........tell us when the bandages are removed...

the gas cap should be vented...unloosen is to tighten, but really if you have pressure, check the vent hole, this however is usually found when you are unable to draw fuel while driving....Hope the carb you found is not in worse condition than that of what you have on there now....there is just the slim chance you have nothing wrong outside of high float level given the likelihood you are running ethanol blend fuel. Suggest you visit this, can be done on the car in a matter of minutes. The idea of having a good spare carb built and stored away is good idea. Check the throttle shaft and bushing close.

your cars fuel pump would have to continue to run for a constant flow from a float leak...where as these fumes could be the sign of too high a float level and in conjunction of heat saturation on parking inside with a hot engine...this would cause for an excessive amount of raw gasoline. The fuel will continue to expand with the heat soak and result in chamber overflow.

you forgetting to put on the suntan lotion and sunglasses...at the elevated temps it is often hard to denote a leak as the evaporation process is rather rapid if just a very small seepage...gas fumes are heavy and tend to stay closer to ground level. Never think your tank is intact either, these cars often have rusted out places at the very top of the tank...unless it sloshes when shaken left to right.....the fumes will be plentiful, no apparent liquid seen.

it is easy to assume anything....winter is coming, odds are your car will be down for bit of time, heck even a hurricane can place you in an immobile period. suggest you take the time to investigate....it is a manner of time now or time later, time now, tear it down and be sure....time later try to install after ordering to find your assumption was wrong,...roll of the dice on what best suits you....maybe there is a shop near you that can rebuild your disc and resurface/tweak your plate, have you checked it this option is available? Time to return an item and get credit before they ship another can sometimes be a bit lengthy.

these are rare items to find not full of holes creases and flattened spots...curb appeal....I have maybe 4 sets of these and none worthy of the time and trouble to work. I opted instead for a set of the same length, slightly different profile and worked them to fit my bz cpe. For grand sum of 10.00 for the pair and new clips that attach easier than the originals for 14.00 delivered...just hard not to work the magic with these....not stock...but that what makes them so much the better, the bit of dare to be different.

and leave the car attached......lol

that item would not be difficult to make......
