Sill plates are the same as 61. I have one for sure and have a pair coming in a week or so with a stash of parts. I won't know condition until they arrive.
Convertible weather strip is also same as 61. They were reproduced by Gary Goers, who has since sold his business to an outfit in Penn. I'm sure they will be offering them ASAP. Channels may be tough to locate if you don't have them.
The sear back boot channel should be the same type as most 60's Mopars.

You are correct on the sill plates fitting 61.
I do have a passenger side one that could be used with some work , is yours drivers side?
I did get the weather strips from Quirey Quality Design, whom bought out Goers,great people to work with.
The Chanel’s are tuff to find.
The boot retainer strip I can make if it comes to that. There are two types from what I see, a T Chanel style and a C Chanel style, T is what I need.
Best regards
RG

The one that I can put my hands on right now is also a passenger side. But it's a pretty nice one. Just need some polish.

 

[RGcaretaker]

That indeed is a passenger side.
Please let me know when you get a drivers side
Any one else you may think of who would have one?

 

[RGcaretaker]

1960-61 desktop fireflight will fit also, if any one has them.

Desoto, spell check error

Some 61 Conv spares I have in the attic.

 

[RGcaretaker]

No sill plates?

 

[barnfind]

The ones on that car were corroded much worse than bluefury361's example.

 

[RGcaretaker]

Seems to be the normal condition of this type sill plates.
The drivers side is the only part I need to finish these restoration.

One of those Forward look "tough to locate nice ones" items. I looked for a couple of years before finding a good pair for my 61 convertible. Then had to "sweeten the pot" to pry them from the seller. Will let you know when the pair I am waiting for get here.

Thank you

AMS obsolete or Mitchell motor parts has a guy working on repro sills and headlight rings for both 60 and 61s. Been awhile since a update thoughhttp://www.amsnos.com/shop/custom.aspx?recid=3

A conversation with AMS obsolete yesterday leads me to believe the it will be a year plus before the sills for the 60-61 will be back in their things to do box. Busy with the 59 sills right now.
