J.C. Whitney JF26290028 Wheel Arch Repair Panel Upper Left Driver Side Steel OEM Replacement

The J.C. Whitney JF26290028 is an OEM-replacement upper rear wheel arch repair panel designed for the Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup. This is the left (driver) side panel and is constructed from 1.2mm stamped steel, engineered to restore the structural integrity and appearance of the rear wheel opening on trucks produced through February 2010.

Rear wheel arches are among the first areas to show corrosion on Super Duty trucks. Constant exposure to road salt, water, and packed mud accelerates rust formation along the wheel opening lip — often beginning as paint bubbles before progressing to through-rust. This repair panel allows you to replace only the damaged section of the wheel arch rather than the entire quarter panel or bedside, saving significant time and cost.

Key Features:

• 1.2mm stamped steel construction — durable gauge matches OEM panel thickness
• Upper rear position, driver (left) side — direct OEM-style replacement
• Designed for weld-in installation — the damaged section is cut away and the new panel is welded in place for a complete, long-lasting repair
• OEM-replacement fit — engineered to match factory dimensions and contours for a proper panel gap and appearance
• Paintable finish — can be primed and finished with standard automotive-grade paint
• Sold individually — one (1) panel included

This panel is intended for professional or experienced DIY installation. Proper fitting requires cutting out the damaged factory steel before welding the new panel in place. Once installed and finished, the repaired wheel arch will restore a factory appearance and help prevent further corrosion from spreading to surrounding panels.
