    I'd call it the inner fender panel. Not sure if that a removable part. Might have to be cut off and a replacement welded in. And the fuse/ relay box looks like it needs replaced to

    It's called a wheel housing on some trucks ...but for ours it's really a Fender Apron.

    To do it right, yes. If you read that other thread...one guy was doing the same job but just pulling it out straight with a tractor and getting it "close enough" with a BFH.

    If your just trying to get it running and don't really care about looks then I would go the same route as the other thread. A chain, a friend with a truck or tractor, and a BFH

    Don’t know if you had this answered... that is an upper rail/ apron assy. Typically welded to the strut tower/ firewall

    Saul, That is real shame but glad you were able to find it in Ramona.

    If you can take all the stuff that is attached to the inner fender panel off it will give you a great amount of flexibility in trying to bash it back into the right shape. Just know that as you unbend things it tends to stretch the metal and things can in some cases elongate a bit. Sometimes a high lift jack can be used to push and pull things with a chain and or C clamps. A pair of 4lb sledge hammers will flatten out the kinks when you hammer with one and the other hammer is on the other side acting as an anvil. A smaller ball-peen hammer and just plain old body working hammers from Harbor Freight might be a good investment too. If the frame is straight then your better off as the sheet metal body is separate from the frame. So that can work to your advantage. The double hammer technique is a real game changer once you figure out how it works!...
