J.C. Whitney JF26290003 Rear Upper Wheel Arch Repair Panel Passenger Side 1.2mm Steel

The J.C. Whitney JF26290003 is a rear upper wheel arch repair panel designed to replace rusted, damaged, or deteriorated wheel arch sections on the truck bed. This is the passenger side (right-hand) upper position panel, constructed from 1.2mm steel for OEM-comparable strength and rigidity.

Wheel arch repair panels like this one are an essential body repair solution for trucks that develop rust-through or corrosion along the rear wheel opening — a common problem area on high-mileage pickups exposed to road salt, moisture, and debris. This panel is designed to be cut-in and welded to restore the structural integrity and appearance of the rear bed quarter section.

Key Features:

• 1.2mm steel construction — matches OEM panel thickness for proper fit and durability
• Passenger side (RH), upper rear wheel arch position
• OEM replacement design for a precise, factory-correct fit
• Suitable for MIG welding installation
• Restores structural integrity to rust-damaged wheel arch areas
• Backed by J.C. Whitney's 1-year, unlimited-mileage warranty

This repair panel is an economical alternative to full quarter panel replacement, allowing body technicians and experienced DIYers to address localized rust damage efficiently. Proper surface preparation, fitment, and welding are recommended for best results.
