Peterbilt 352 Custom Pedals

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 352 Custom Pedals

Will these custom pedals fit my specific year Peterbilt 352?

Our custom pedals are designed to fit Peterbilt 352 models from 1969 through 1987. These pedals use the standard Peterbilt mounting pattern from this era, which means they'll work with both manual and automatic transmission configurations. However, if your truck has been modified with aftermarket floor boards or non-standard pedal assemblies, you may need to verify measurements. The mounting holes should be spaced 3.5 inches apart center-to-center for proper fitment.

What materials are these pedals made from, and how durable are they?

Most of our Peterbilt 352 custom pedals are manufactured from either billet aluminum or stainless steel. The aluminum pedals typically feature 6061-T6 grade aluminum with a thickness of 3/8 to 1/2 inch, providing excellent strength while keeping weight down. Stainless steel options use 304-grade material that resists corrosion and maintains its appearance even in harsh conditions. Both materials are significantly more durable than factory rubber pedals and won't crack, fade, or wear down like OEM replacements.

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

Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes per pedal and requires basic hand tools. You'll need a socket set (usually 9/16" or 5/8"), a flat-head screwdriver to remove old rubber pads if applicable, and possibly a drill if you're installing pedals with anti-slip inserts. The process involves removing the existing pedal pads, cleaning the mounting surface, and bolting on the new custom pedals using the provided hardware. No welding or permanent modifications are required, making this a straightforward bolt-on upgrade.

What styles and finishes are available for the 352 pedals?

We offer several popular styles including diamond plate, flame designs, tribal patterns, and plain polished finishes. Finish options typically include polished aluminum, brushed aluminum, black anodized, and chrome-plated versions. Some models feature rubber inserts or grip tape sections for improved traction. The pedals are available individually or in complete sets that include brake, clutch, and throttle pedals with matching designs to create a cohesive look in your cab.

Do these pedals affect pedal feel or driving safety?

When properly installed, custom pedals maintain the same pedal travel and feel as stock pedals. The added weight of metal pedals (typically 1-2 pounds more than rubber) is negligible and won't affect pedal response. Many drivers actually prefer the solid feel and improved grip that textured metal pedals provide, especially when wearing work boots. For enhanced safety, we recommend choosing pedals with anti-slip features like diamond plate texture or rubber inserts, particularly for the brake pedal where maximum grip is essential.
