Frequently Asked Questions About Hino 238-338 Truck Cab & Related
What years and models are compatible with your Hino 238-338 cab parts?
Our cab parts are designed specifically for Hino 238 and 338 series trucks manufactured from 2005 through 2021. This includes all sub-models within these series. However, there were minor design changes in 2011 and 2017, so please verify your truck's exact year when ordering items like mirror brackets, door handles, or cab corners. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact us with your VIN and we'll confirm the correct part for your specific truck.
Are your replacement cab parts made from the same gauge steel as OEM parts?
Yes, our aftermarket cab panels and structural components are manufactured using 16-gauge or 18-gauge steel, matching OEM specifications for each specific part. Door skins, rocker panels, and cab corners use the same thickness as factory parts to ensure proper fit and structural integrity. All steel components feature e-coating or zinc primer to prevent rust, though we recommend applying additional rust protection in areas with heavy road salt exposure.
How difficult is it to install cab steps and grab handles without professional help?
Most cab steps and grab handles can be installed with basic tools in 30-60 minutes per side. You'll need a socket set, drill with metal bits, and possibly a rivet gun depending on the specific part. The main challenges customers report are accessing mounting points behind the cab panels and ensuring proper alignment. We include detailed instructions with measurements, and pre-drilled mounting holes line up with factory locations on most models. Having a second person helps significantly with positioning heavier items like full-length cab steps.
What's the difference between chrome, stainless steel, and powder-coated black finishes for durability?
Stainless steel parts offer the best long-term durability and won't rust, though they cost more upfront. Chrome-plated parts provide an excellent mirror finish but can pit or peel after 3-5 years in harsh conditions. Powder-coated black finishes are extremely durable against chips and weather but may fade slightly after extended sun exposure. For maximum longevity in northern climates or coastal areas, we recommend stainless steel. Chrome works well in moderate climates with regular maintenance, while powder-coated options are ideal for work trucks where appearance is secondary to function.
Do I need to modify my cab to install aftermarket visors or wind deflectors?
No modifications are required for most visor and wind deflector installations on 2005-2021 Hino 238-338 trucks. These accessories use existing mounting points above the windshield or clamp-on brackets that don't require drilling. The main consideration is cab height - standard cab and high-roof models use different mounting brackets. Installation typically takes 45-90 minutes and requires basic hand tools. Some customers have reported minor adjustments needed for trucks with aftermarket marker lights, but this is easily addressed with the included spacers.
