I'm afraid you'll have to bite the bullet and buy those body biscuits from 
the dealer.  That is, unless you can find them in the back room of some off 
the wall auto parts outlet.  There's always the local Mopar racing groups who 
may have a set of them laying around.

That's true if you don't buy mainstream products.  Had your Mopar been a 
Roadrunner or Dodge Charger, you might be looking at a cheaper price.

I've owned a few of those late 70's vintage cars myself.  Got rid of them 
ASAP.  Now, I've got 86 and 88 computer cars and 70 and 72 computer-less 
cars.  The 88's a keeper, but the 86 has to go...
... Welcome to Hell, here's your spade.
