International DuraStar Front Fenders & Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About International DuraStar Front Fenders & Acc.

Will these fenders fit my specific International DuraStar model year?

International DuraStar trucks were built over a long production run, and fender design changed somewhat over the years. Always check the year range and cab configuration listed on the product page before ordering, and compare it against your truck's VIN or existing fender dimensions. If you are unsure, reach out to our team with your truck's year and specs so we can confirm fitment before you buy.

What materials are these fenders made from, and how do they hold up?

Fenders in this category are typically offered in steel or fiberglass, each with different strengths. Steel fenders tend to offer more durability against impacts but can be heavier and more prone to rust if not properly coated. Fiberglass fenders are lighter, resist corrosion, and are often easier to repair if cracked, though they can be more susceptible to cracking under heavy impact. The product listing will specify the material so you can choose based on your priorities for weight, durability, and maintenance.

Do these fenders come primed, painted, or unfinished?

Most replacement fenders are sold unpainted or in primer-ready condition, allowing you to match your truck's specific paint color. Check the individual product description to confirm the finish, since some accessories such as fender extensions or trim pieces may come with a factory-style finish while structural fenders often require paint after installation.

What tools or steps are typically involved in installing a new fender?

Installation generally involves removing the damaged or old fender by unbolting it from the mounting brackets, then aligning and securing the new fender in the same position using the existing hardware or new bolts included with your purchase. Basic hand tools such as wrenches and sockets are usually sufficient. Some fenders may require minor adjustments to align properly with the hood and cab, so having a second person assist during installation can help ensure a proper fit.

Are these fenders and accessories OEM parts, or aftermarket replacements?

Products in this category include both OEM and aftermarket options, and each listing will specify which type you are purchasing. OEM parts are built to match the original factory specifications exactly, while aftermarket fenders are designed to fit and function similarly but may have slight variations in shape or mounting. If matching your existing fenders precisely is important, review the product details or contact us to confirm before ordering.
