Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Fairings & Steps
Will these fairings and steps fit my specific year Kenworth T600?
Most fairings and steps for the Kenworth T600 are designed to fit models from 1989 to 2007. However, there are some variations between early models (1989-1999) and later models (2000-2007), particularly in mounting hole patterns and bracket designs. Always verify the specific year range listed in the product description, and if you're unsure, contact us with your VIN number for confirmation. Some aftermarket options offer universal fitment with adjustable brackets to accommodate minor year-to-year variations.
What's the difference between fiberglass and plastic fairings, and which should I choose?
Fiberglass fairings are typically more durable and resistant to cracking in extreme temperatures, but they're heavier and more expensive. They're ideal for heavy-duty applications and can be repaired if damaged. Plastic (ABS or polyethylene) fairings are lighter, more flexible, and generally less expensive, but may become brittle in very cold weather. For most drivers, plastic fairings offer the best balance of cost and performance. If you operate in extreme climates or need maximum durability, fiberglass is worth the extra investment.
How difficult is it to install fairings and steps, and what tools will I need?
Installation difficulty varies by product, but most fairings and steps can be installed in 2-4 hours with basic tools. You'll typically need a drill with metal bits, socket set (usually 1/2" and 9/16"), wrenches, and possibly a rivet gun for some applications. Many fairings use existing mounting holes, but some may require drilling new ones. Step installations often require removing the old brackets first. We recommend having a helper for larger fairings, as they can be awkward to position alone. Most products include installation instructions, and some manufacturers offer video guides.
What finishes are available, and how do I match my truck's appearance?
Fairings and steps come in several finishes: unpainted (primer only), painted black, chrome-plated steel, polished aluminum, and stainless steel. Unpainted options allow for custom color matching but require additional prep and painting. Black painted options are ready to install and hide minor imperfections well. Chrome and polished finishes offer a classic look but require more maintenance to prevent corrosion and maintain shine. For the best match, consider your existing truck accessories - if you have chrome bumpers and mirrors, chrome steps will complement them better than black or unpainted options.
How do I ensure I'm ordering the correct side (driver vs. passenger) for fairings and steps?
Fairings and steps are side-specific due to mounting brackets and aerodynamic design. "Driver side" always refers to the left side when sitting in the cab facing forward, while "passenger side" is the right. Many product listings specify "LH" (left hand/driver) or "RH" (right hand/passenger). If ordering a complete set, verify it includes both sides. For cab and sleeper fairings, the shape and mounting points differ significantly between sides, so ordering the wrong side will result in a part that cannot be installed. When in doubt, check your existing parts for part numbers or contact us with photos of your current setup.
