J.C. Whitney JD26290009 Upper Rear Wheel Arch Repair Panel Passenger Side Steel

The J.C. Whitney JD26290009 is an upper rear wheel arch repair panel designed as a direct OEM-style replacement for the right (passenger) side of classic Dodge full-size pickup trucks and Ramcharger SUVs. This steel patch panel targets one of the most rust-prone areas on these vehicles — the section of the bedside or quarter panel directly above the rear wheel opening.

Over time, road debris thrown by the rear tire causes paint chips and surface damage that allow moisture and road salt to penetrate, leading to rust and eventual panel failure. This replacement panel allows for a targeted, cost-effective repair without replacing the entire bedside or quarter panel.

Key Features:

• Steel construction — stamped from heavy-gauge steel to match or exceed original panel thickness
• Upper wheel arch position — covers the area directly above the rear wheel opening
• Right side (passenger side) — sold individually for the RH/passenger side
• OEM-style replacement — engineered to match original factory contours for a precise weld-in fit
• Backed by J.C. Whitney's 1-year, unlimited-mileage warranty

Installation requires cutting out the damaged section and welding in the new panel. Professional bodywork installation is recommended for best results.
