Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLT Cabover Door & Cab Side Accessories

What years and models of Freightliner FLT cabovers are these door and cab accessories compatible with?

Our Freightliner FLT cabover door and cab side accessories are designed to fit FLT models from 1984 through 1994, including the FLT86, FLT106, and FLT120 series. However, compatibility can vary based on specific cab configurations and whether your truck has been modified. We recommend checking your VIN or contacting our support team with your truck's year, model, and any modifications to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

Are these accessories made from stainless steel or chrome-plated steel, and how durable are they?

Most of our FLT cabover door and cab accessories are available in both 304 stainless steel and chrome-plated steel options. The stainless steel versions offer superior corrosion resistance and typically last 10-15 years with proper care, while chrome-plated options provide a mirror finish at a lower price point but may require more frequent maintenance. All products are manufactured to withstand highway conditions, road salt, and weather exposure typical in commercial trucking applications.

Do I need to drill new holes or modify my cab to install these door and side accessories?

The majority of our FLT door handles, grab handles, and side panels are designed as direct replacements using existing mounting points. However, some decorative trim pieces and custom accessories may require drilling. Each product listing specifies whether drilling is required. We include detailed installation instructions with measurements and templates where applicable. Professional installation typically takes 1-3 hours depending on the specific accessories.

What finish options are available, and which one matches the original FLT appearance?

We offer three primary finishes: mirror-polished stainless steel, chrome plating, and brushed stainless steel. For trucks seeking the original factory appearance, chrome plating most closely matches the OEM finish used on FLT cabovers from the factory. Mirror-polished stainless provides a similar bright appearance with better longevity, while brushed stainless offers a more contemporary look that hides minor scratches and fingerprints better than polished finishes.

Can I purchase individual pieces or do I need to buy complete sets?

We offer both individual pieces and complete sets for FLT cabover door and cab accessories. Individual items like door handles, grab handles, and trim pieces can be purchased separately to replace damaged components. However, complete sets often provide better value and ensure matching finishes across all pieces. Sets typically include door handles, window trim, grab handles, and decorative panels specific to your FLT model's cab configuration.
