Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T700 Frame Nut Covers

What material are these frame nut covers made from, and will they rust or corrode?

Most Kenworth T700 frame nut covers are manufactured from either chrome-plated ABS plastic or stainless steel. Chrome-plated ABS options are lightweight, won't rust, and maintain their shine with minimal maintenance. Stainless steel versions offer superior durability and resistance to road chemicals, though they may show minor surface oxidation in extreme conditions. Both materials are designed to withstand harsh weather and road salt exposure typical in commercial trucking applications.

Will these nut covers fit my specific Kenworth T700 model year?

Frame nut covers for the Kenworth T700 are generally compatible with model years 2008-2019, as the frame bolt patterns remained consistent during this production run. However, you should verify the thread size of your frame bolts before ordering. Most T700s use 33mm hex nuts, but some specialty configurations may vary. Check your existing nuts with a socket or wrench to confirm the size, or contact us with your VIN for specific fitment verification.

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

Installation is straightforward and typically takes 30-45 minutes for a complete set. You'll need a socket wrench to remove existing nuts (if replacing), and possibly a rubber mallet for press-fit style covers. Thread-on covers simply screw onto existing studs after removing the original nuts. Push-on styles slide over existing nuts without removal. No drilling or modifications are required. Some drivers find it helpful to apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to threads for easier future removal.

What styles and finishes are available for T700 frame nut covers?

Frame nut covers come in several popular styles including pointed bullet, rounded dome, and flat-top designs. Finish options typically include mirror-polished chrome, brushed stainless, and powder-coated colors like black or red. The pointed style is most common for a classic look, while flat-tops provide a more modern appearance. Some covers feature etched logos or designs. Consider matching your choice to existing chrome accessories on your truck for a cohesive appearance.

How many nut covers do I need for a complete set on my T700?

A standard Kenworth T700 typically requires 20-24 frame nut covers for full coverage, depending on your specific chassis configuration and wheelbase. Short wheelbase models usually need 20 covers (10 per side), while extended chassis may require up to 24. Count the exposed frame nuts on both sides of your truck before ordering. Many drivers choose to purchase 2-4 extra covers as spares, since individual covers can occasionally loosen or get damaged during normal operation.
