What, you have a REPU that needs 'em

as well as your dropped Courier? Or are you wanting the flared fender look on your Courier? I don't have any fenders for sale, but I might have an entire REPU body, cab, bed, and frame available...

I'm in western Oregon...

...and I haven't set a firm price; guess it's fair to say I'm somewhat flexible, depending on what does/doesn't go with the shell... Definitely makes sense/saves a lot of hassle to put a rotary in a REPU, rather than convert over a piston truck...
How far away are you located? Shipping can ruin an otherwise cost-effective deal...
Oh yeah, that reminds me...: There's a '74 courier that's been in the paper here for a week now, "...rebuilt top end, runs great...", for $750/obo... (I haven't looked...)

EASTERN WASHINGTON TRI CITIES

WELL ALL I REALLY WANT TO DO IS PUT FLARED FENDERS ON THE TRUCK AT THIS POINT I NEED THE BED AND THE FENDERS FROM A REPU. DO THEY HAVE THE SAME MOUNTING HOLES? THERE IS A GUY HERE IN TOWN WITH A REPU FOR $900 BUT I JUST WANT THE FENDERS AND BED IF SOMEONE WANTS TO GO IN AND BUY THE REST THAT WOULD BE COOL! BUY THE WAY HOW MUCH DOES A REBUILT 13B RUN USUALLY?

rebuilt 13b

if they use all new seals you're looking around $1500. this is for a fresh motor, not one that's been rebuilt and beat.

it is very possible to reuse the hard seals for a rotary rebuilt. many cheapskates do this as long as your used seals are within factory specs still. in this instance the value and cost would go down accordingly.

very common to use new rotorhousings when rebuilding a rotor motor these days, since the chrome on the internal sealing surface gets chipped, worn, and beat.

i'd have to see the motor run before i buy it. and even then i'd check the apex seals thru the exhaust port.

Sorry...

Nobody I know would let go of a straight set of REPU fenders & bed to kluge onto a Courier... I'll guess you're on your own here, scouting the fields, barns, and wrecking yards for those pieces...
(?) of couriers were made, but only about 15,000 REPU's... no offense, but you do understand where we're coming from, right?
The bed'll likely be easier to find than the fenders... though if you're willing to do extensive reconstruction and repair, someone might have some that are otherwise trash...

If all you care about is getting flares so you can tuck big wheels I'd just have a bodyman rework the fender lips an inch or two out. Going to be a lot faster, easier and cheaper than trying to swap out for REPU panels.

So, what is the law?
You can install courier parts on repu.
But you CAN NOT, install repu parts on a courier?
Is that right?

The Law

It is the law of this site ;)

Put Ford parts on the REPU OK except the engine...
Put REPU parts on anything else and you'll be tar'd and feather'd!

Why? I'm the admin and this is my site, that's why! :)

do some measuring

You might want to measure the frame rails of that courier before you think about just bolting on a REPU bed. The REPU frame is about 4 inches wider I believe. If you want to measure the courier I can measure my REPU frame and let you know what the deminsions are. Good luck with your quest.

I think a tricked-out Courier

could look really good (and accommodate lotsa sticky rubber) box-flared at the fenders... Of course, that's a lot of work... I've also heard folks used to use VW bug fenders for round flare stock, and cut from them...
Gravity--More than just a good idea, it's the law!
And then there's levity...
