Freightliner Cabover Parts

Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLT Cabover Parts

What year models and specific FLT variants are these parts compatible with?

Our Freightliner FLT cabover parts are designed to fit FLT models manufactured between 1979 and 1991, including the FLT 86, FLT 64, and FLT 120 variants. Each part listing specifies exact model compatibility. For custom applications or modified trucks, we recommend calling our technical support team at 1-888-875-7787 with your OEM number to verify fitment before ordering.

Are these aftermarket parts or OEM quality, and what materials are they made from?

We carry both genuine OEM replacement parts and high-quality aftermarket alternatives. Our aftermarket bumpers are manufactured from 16-gauge steel with triple-chrome plating or powder coating options, matching or exceeding original specifications. All parts meet DOT standards and come with material certifications. Product descriptions clearly indicate whether items are OEM or aftermarket.

What are the most common installation challenges with FLT cabover parts?

The most frequent installation issues involve rusted or damaged mounting brackets on older trucks. We recommend inspecting and replacing mounting hardware during installation. Bumper installations typically require 2-3 hours with basic tools. Hood and grille assemblies may need alignment adjustments due to frame settling over time. Detailed installation guides are available for download on each product page.

Do you offer complete bumper assemblies or just individual components?

We stock both complete bumper assemblies and individual components like center sections, end caps, brackets, and mounting hardware. Complete assemblies include all necessary mounting brackets and hardware. Individual components are ideal for repairing specific damage without replacing the entire bumper. Our parts specialists can help you determine the most cost-effective solution for your needs.

What finish options are available, and how do they hold up to road salt and weather?

We offer three primary finishes: triple-chrome plating, powder coating (available in black, white, and custom colors), and polished stainless steel. Chrome provides the classic look but requires regular maintenance in salt-prone areas. Powder coating offers superior corrosion resistance with a 5-year warranty against rust-through. Stainless steel options provide the best long-term durability with minimal maintenance requirements.
