Frequently Asked Questions About International 4700-4900 Cab & Related
What years and models are compatible with International 4700-4900 cab parts?
Most cab parts fit International 4700 and 4900 series trucks manufactured from 1989 through 2001. However, there are important distinctions: pre-1995 models often have different mounting points and dimensions than 1995-2001 models. Always verify compatibility by checking your VIN and comparing part numbers. Hood hinges, door handles, and mirror brackets particularly vary between early and late production years.
What materials are used in aftermarket vs. OEM cab parts, and how do they compare?
OEM parts typically use heavy-gauge steel (16-18 gauge) with factory-grade primer and paint. Quality aftermarket options often match these specifications, while economy versions may use thinner 20-22 gauge steel. For critical components like door shells and cab corners, we recommend parts with at least 18-gauge steel and e-coating for rust prevention. Chrome bumpers should have triple-plated finishes for durability against road salt and weather.
What are the most challenging aspects of installing cab components on these trucks?
Door alignment and hood hinge adjustment are the most common installation challenges. Doors often require shimming at the hinges and striker adjustment to achieve proper gaps. Hood installations typically need two people and may require drilling new mounting holes if switching between model years. Cab corner replacements involve cutting and welding, requiring professional installation. Always test-fit parts before final installation, as some grinding or adjustment is normal.
What finish options are available, and which hold up best for commercial use?
Available finishes include chrome, polished stainless steel, painted steel, and powder coating. For commercial applications, polished stainless steel offers the best longevity with minimal maintenance. Chrome looks excellent but requires regular cleaning to prevent pitting. Powder-coated parts resist chips and corrosion better than standard paint but cost more initially. Consider your operating environment: chrome works well in dry climates, while stainless or powder coating excels in humid or salt-exposed conditions.
Which cab parts commonly need replacement, and what should I inspect regularly?
Door seals, mirror brackets, and cab corner panels are the most frequently replaced items due to wear and corrosion. Check door seals every 6 months for tears or compression loss that causes wind noise and water leaks. Inspect cab corners quarterly for rust, especially where the floor meets the firewall. Mirror brackets often crack at the mounting points from vibration. Hood hinges should be lubricated monthly and checked for play that indicates worn bushings.
