The 1953–1956 Ford F100 Rear Fender Brace is a replacement steel support designed to help secure the lower rear section of the rear fender on classic Ford pickup trucks.

This brace mounts between the truck's frame rail and the lower rear section of the fender, providing structural support to help prevent fender sagging, unwanted movement, rattles and vibration.

Manufactured from stamped, hardened steel, the brace is designed for restoration projects, replacement of damaged original supports and classic Ford pickup rebuilds.

The non-directional design means the same brace can be fitted to either the left-hand or right-hand rear fender position.

Part Number: 49-3190

Sold individually – two braces are required to complete one truck.

Why Replace Your Ford F100 Rear Fender Brace?

The 1953–1956 Ford F100 Rear Fender Brace plays an important role in supporting the rear fender assembly.

Over time, original braces can become damaged, bent, corroded or missing altogether, particularly on vehicles that have undergone previous body repairs or restoration work.

A missing or damaged rear fender support can allow excessive movement in the lower section of the fender.

Common reasons for replacing the brace include:

• Rusted or Corroded Original Braces
• Missing Rear Fender Supports
• Bent or Damaged Mounting Brackets
• Excessive Fender Movement
• Fender Rattles and Vibration
• Classic Truck Body Restoration
• Rear Fender Replacement
• Complete Ford F100 Rebuilds

Installing the correct support helps maintain the intended mounting arrangement and provides additional stability to the rear fender.

Fits Left and Right Rear Fender Positions

This rear fender brace features a non-directional design.

Unlike some vehicle body brackets that require separate left-hand and right-hand components, part number 49-3190 is designed to be used on either side.

Quantity Required

• Left Rear Fender: 1 Brace
• Right Rear Fender: 1 Brace
• Total Required: 2 Braces

Important: This listing is for one brace only.

If you are restoring both rear fenders, select a quantity of two before adding the product to your cart.

Steel Rear Fender Support for Classic Ford Pickup Restorations

The brace is manufactured from stamped, hardened steel and features a black protective finish.

Its pre-formed design and mounting holes are intended to suit the original-style rear fender support arrangement.

This makes it a useful replacement component for classic Ford pickup restoration projects where original brackets have been removed, damaged or lost.

For best results, inspect the surrounding mounting points, frame rail and rear fender condition before installation.

Additional fitting work may be required on vehicles with previous body modifications or repaired mounting locations.
