Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 352 Dash Nuts & Screws
What size nuts and screws do I need for my Peterbilt 352 dash panel?
Most Peterbilt 352 dash panels use #10-24 screws for gauge mounting and 1/4"-20 bolts for heavier components like the instrument cluster. The most common lengths are 3/4" to 1" for standard applications. For dash pad attachment, you'll typically need 5/16"-18 bolts. We recommend checking your specific year model as some variations exist between early and late production 352s.
Are stainless steel or chrome-plated fasteners better for dash applications?
Stainless steel fasteners are ideal for durability and corrosion resistance, especially if you're concerned about long-term reliability. Chrome-plated steel fasteners offer a brilliant finish that matches original equipment appearance but may show wear over time. For show trucks, chrome provides the best aesthetic. For daily drivers or work trucks, stainless steel offers superior longevity without sacrificing appearance.
Will these fasteners fit both COE and conventional Peterbilt 352 models?
Yes, the dash fastener specifications are identical between Peterbilt 352 COE (Cab Over Engine) and conventional hood models. The dash panel mounting points and hardware requirements remain consistent across both configurations. However, always verify thread pitch and length requirements for your specific application, as aftermarket modifications may require different specifications.
How many fasteners do I need for a complete dash restoration?
A complete Peterbilt 352 dash restoration typically requires approximately 45-60 fasteners, including: 20-25 gauge mounting screws, 8-12 dash pad bolts, 10-15 switch panel screws, and 6-8 glove box fasteners. We recommend ordering 10-15% extra to account for any damaged threads or lost hardware during installation. Consider purchasing a complete hardware kit for the most cost-effective solution.
Do you offer original-style slotted screws or only Phillips head?
We stock both slotted (flathead) and Phillips head options to match your restoration preferences. Original Peterbilt 352 dashes primarily used slotted screws, which many restorers prefer for authenticity. Phillips head fasteners offer easier installation and reduced risk of screwdriver slippage. Both styles are available in matching finishes and meet or exceed OEM specifications for strength and fit.
