Frequently Asked Questions About International S2100-S2300 Cab & Related

What years and specific models do these parts fit?

These cab and related parts are designed for International S2100 and S2300 series trucks manufactured from 1989 through 2002. The S2100 was produced from 1989-1995, while the S2300 ran from 1995-2002. Most parts are interchangeable between these models due to their shared cab design. However, always verify compatibility by checking your truck's VIN and model year before ordering, as minor variations exist between early and late production years.

What materials are these replacement parts made from, and how do they compare to OEM?

Our International S2100-S2300 replacement parts are manufactured from heavy-duty steel, aluminum, and composite materials that meet or exceed OEM specifications. Steel components feature corrosion-resistant coatings, while chrome parts use triple-plated processes for durability. Fiberglass parts are hand-laid with quality resins to prevent cracking and fading. Many customers report these aftermarket options lasting as long as original parts when properly maintained.

How difficult is installation, and what tools are required?

Installation difficulty varies by component. Most exterior trim pieces and smaller cab parts can be installed with basic hand tools in 1-3 hours. Larger components like doors, hoods, or cab corners typically require 4-8 hours and may need drilling, cutting, or welding. Essential tools include socket sets, drill bits, rivet guns, and torque wrenches. Professional installation is recommended for structural components. Detailed instructions are included with most parts, and our technical support team can provide guidance.

What finish options are available, and do parts come painted?

Most metal parts come in primer finish ready for painting, allowing you to match your truck's exact color. Chrome options are available for bumpers, mirrors, and trim pieces. Stainless steel components come polished or brushed. Fiberglass parts arrive in white gel coat that requires painting. Some manufacturers offer pre-painted options in common fleet colors like white, black, and red for an additional charge. Paint codes for original International colors are available upon request.

Are mounting hardware and gaskets included with these parts?

Hardware inclusion varies by manufacturer and specific part. Most major components like doors and hoods include essential mounting hardware but may not include all bolts, clips, or weatherstripping. Mirrors typically come with mounting brackets but not always with gaskets. We recommend ordering complete hardware kits separately to ensure you have everything needed for installation. Product descriptions specify what's included, and our customer service team can help identify any additional items you might need.
