Frequently Asked Questions About International 8100-8300 Custom Pedals

Will these custom pedals fit my specific International truck model and year?

Our custom pedals are designed to fit International 8100, 8200, and 8300 series trucks manufactured from 1989 through 2004. These pedals are direct replacements for factory pedals and will fit all cab configurations including day cabs and sleepers. However, we recommend verifying your specific VIN and model year before ordering, as some late 2004 models may have different mounting points. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact our support team with your truck's VIN and we'll confirm the correct fit.

What materials are these pedals made from and how durable are they?

Most of our International 8100-8300 custom pedals are constructed from either billet aluminum or heavy-duty stainless steel, depending on the style you choose. Billet aluminum pedals are CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminum blocks and feature anti-slip rubber inserts or diamond plate patterns for grip. Stainless steel options use 304-grade steel with mirror or brushed finishes. Both materials are significantly more durable than factory plastic pedals and resist corrosion, wear, and fading. Many customers report their pedals still look new after 5+ years of daily use.

How difficult is the installation process and what tools do I need?

Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes per pedal set and requires basic hand tools. You'll need a socket set (usually 10mm and 13mm), screwdrivers, and possibly a drill if you're installing pedals with additional mounting points. Most pedals use the existing factory mounting holes and hardware. The brake and clutch pedals usually require removing 2-3 bolts each, while accelerator pedals may need the pedal arm removed from the linkage. Detailed instructions are included with each set, and no welding or cutting is required. Professional installation is not necessary for most mechanically inclined individuals.

What styles and finishes are available for these trucks?

We offer several style options for International 8100-8300 trucks including flame designs, diamond plate patterns, skull motifs, and clean billet looks. Finish options typically include polished chrome, brushed aluminum, black anodized, and powder-coated colors like red, blue, and orange. Some pedal sets also feature LED backlighting in various colors. Matching sets are available that include brake, clutch, and accelerator pedals in coordinated designs. We also carry individual pedals if you only want to upgrade specific ones.

Do these custom pedals affect pedal feel or safety?

Our custom pedals maintain the same dimensions and pivot points as factory pedals, so they won't change your pedal travel or feel. The anti-slip surfaces actually improve grip compared to worn factory rubber pads, especially in wet or muddy conditions. All pedals meet or exceed DOT safety standards and won't interfere with proper brake, clutch, or throttle operation. The added weight of metal pedals is minimal and won't affect pedal return springs. Many drivers report improved confidence and control, particularly with our textured or rubber-insert designs that prevent foot slippage.
