This 2004-2008 Ford F150 Light Duty Pickup Upper Rear Wheel Arch Driver Side fits 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Ford Pickup Truck.

The rear wheel openings on your vehicle are constantly sprayed with salt and road debris as you drive. If you have a Chevy, Ford, Toyota, or Dodge truck, there’s a good chance that mud is getting stuck up in there as well. It’s only a matter of time before the mix of water, salt, and mud causes corrosion to form. Before you know it, you see the dreaded paint bubbles starting to form around the lip of the wheel arch. The good news is that if you catch it in time, you can sometimes replace just the area of the arch that’s rusting out. If paint is already falling off, and you’re able to poke your finger through the side of your vehicle, you may need to replace the entire wheel arch and possibly the inner wheelhouse. Whether the rear wheel opening on your vehicle is just starting to bubble, or is completely rusted out, we have the wheel arch repair panels to help you fix your rust problem.

All of our wheel arch patch panels are constructed of heavy gauge stamped steel that meets or exceeds the thickness of the original body panel that it’s replacing. The stamping process starts with a 3D scan of an OEM part, which means that these aftermarket panels will be an exact match to the original part’s shape. Since the panels are an exact match, the old panel will need to be cut out so that the new one can be welded in its place.

For most trucks, if you’re not as worried about the appearance, you can usually slip these arches over top of your existing panel and secure them with an adhesive like Silaprene. If doing this, we still highly recommend cutting out as much of the rust as possible, and sealing the rusted area with a rust-inhibiting paint, like ZeroRust, prior to installing the new arch.

Each panel has an EDP coating for additional corrosion protection. The e-coating leaves a black finish that can be scuffed and painted over. For best finishing results we recommend scuffing the e-coat, priming, and then top coating with an automotive grade paint.

Whether you need to replace the whole wheel arch or just a portion of it, we have the parts that you’re looking for. Replace your rusted wheel arch by ordering this 2004-2008 Ford F150 Light Duty Pickup Upper Rear Wheel Arch Driver Side from Raybuck Auto Body Parts today.

      Q Is this tack welded or glued on answer now
      Asked by Kaz on December 22, 2022 11:48 am
      A This would require the old piece cut out and this would need welded in place of what was cut.
    2. On my 2008 6 1/2ft bed 18 1/2” height would put it into the area of the fuel lid on my truck but the picture doesn’t show it having the inlet on it?

      A Panels are typically cut based on what you have to repair. Trucks don’t typically rust around the fuel fill so you would cut that part of the panel to fit around it.
      Answered by the admin This part does have the fuel door opening. The panel extends about 2" past the fuel door going toward the front of the truck. The picture we show was the original design. The new design has the fuel door opening.
