84 B2000
Yes it does if you own a repu, I have found two 84 B2000's recently in junkyards, and took the windshield and side windows and vent glass. Also the side amber markers and bulb holders are used in our trucks. Also, the driver and passenger window frame fits in our repu's.

Anything can be swapped...
...if you have the time, energy, and funds to deal with it. Sky's the limit! (Or, bank account's the limit...) A buddy in a metal fab. shop would help... Good luck! Why not acquire a REPU for starters, and keep your current ride as the daily driver while you build a classic rotary hot rod truck?

Not off-hand...
Do regular searches of ebaymotors, theautotrader, trucktrader, etc... Post your desires, price range, and geographic acquisition limits in the 'trucks wanted' section here... or make plans to have one shipped to you, or to go on that classic, hardcore oldschool rotorhead road-trip, usually with a flatbed car trailer in tow, and a fist-full of cash for gas and purchases...

They came in through the NW ports...
I wasn't trying to suggest you go looking, so much as be prepared to retrieve an acquisition from afar... Come visit us here in the great NW! Then again, as NWACO is proving, you just might see a score off in some field full of blackberries...

UP TO 84
Up to the 1984 B2000 will for sure. That is what I have in mine right now. Lots of parts from the 2000 will fit on the REPU. I'm using the entire brake system from the 2000 on mine. Wiper motor, radio, windshield, carpet (modified slightly), window frames and vent windows, wheels, marker lights, and I'm sure there are more parts from my old B2000 that are on the REPU now. Even the center section of the rearend is a swapable part. But the REPU had a 3.90 or better depending on year and the B2000 had like a 3.08 rear. But you can swap. The REPU rear uses longer axles but the gears will swap. Good luck.
