Kenworth W900A Parts

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900A Parts

What years and models are compatible with your Kenworth W900A parts?

Our Kenworth W900A parts are designed to fit models from 1961 through 1985. However, compatibility can vary depending on the specific part and any modifications made to your truck. For bumpers and exterior accessories, most parts fit all W900A models within this range. For engine-specific or cab-specific components, please check the individual product descriptions or contact our team with your OEM to ensure proper fitment.

Are your W900A bumpers made from chrome-plated steel or stainless steel?

We offer both options depending on your needs and budget. Our chrome-plated steel bumpers feature a triple-chrome plating process over heavy-duty steel, providing excellent durability at a lower price point. Our 304 stainless steel bumpers offer superior corrosion resistance and require less maintenance, though they come at a premium. Both options are significantly thicker than factory specs, typically 14-gauge or heavier, to withstand commercial use.

Do I need to drill new holes or modify my frame to install replacement bumpers?

Most of our W900A replacement bumpers are designed as direct bolt-on replacements using existing mounting points. No drilling or frame modifications are typically required for standard installations. However, if you're upgrading from a factory bumper to a heavy-duty or custom style, you may need to use the included mounting brackets or make minor adjustments.

What's the difference between OEM-style and aftermarket parts for the W900A?

OEM-style parts are manufactured to match original factory specifications for direct replacement. Aftermarket parts often feature improvements like heavier gauge materials, enhanced chrome plating, or additional mounting points. For example, our aftermarket grilles typically use thicker wire mesh and frames compared to original specs, while maintaining the classic W900A appearance. Both options fit correctly, but aftermarket parts generally offer better longevity for working trucks.

How long does shipping take, and do you offer assistance with installation questions?

Most in-stock W900A parts ship within 1-2 business days via freight carrier for larger items like bumpers and hoods, or standard ground shipping for smaller components. Delivery typically takes 3-7 business days depending on your location. Our technical support team is available by phone during business hours to help with any installation questions. We also maintain a library of installation guides and can recommend qualified installers in many areas if you prefer professional installation.
