Peterbilt 352 Floor Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 352 Floor Accessories

Will these floor mats fit my specific year Peterbilt 352, and what about COE models?

Most floor accessories in this category are designed to fit Peterbilt 352 models from 1969 through 1986, including both conventional and COE (Cab Over Engine) configurations. However, minor variations exist between early and late production years. We recommend checking the specific product description for year ranges, or contact our support team with your OEM for exact fitment confirmation. COE models typically require different floor mat configurations due to the cab design differences.

What's the difference between rubber and carpet floor mats, and which holds up better in daily use?

Rubber floor mats are ideal for heavy-duty applications, offering superior water resistance, easier cleaning, and typically lasting 5-7 years with regular commercial use. They're best for drivers dealing with mud, snow, or frequent entry/exit. Carpet mats provide better insulation against heat and cold, reduce road noise, and offer a more finished appearance, but require more maintenance and typically need replacement every 2-3 years in commercial applications. Many drivers choose rubber for winter months and carpet for summer.

Do I need to remove the seats to install these floor accessories properly?

For complete floor mat sets, removing the driver's seat provides the best fit and prevents bunching around the seat base. However, most mats can be installed without seat removal by carefully working them under the seat pedestals. Floor pans and metal repair panels will require seat removal for proper installation. Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes with basic hand tools. We include installation instructions with products that require specific procedures.

Are these floor accessories compatible with aftermarket air-ride seats or non-standard pedestal configurations?

Standard floor mats are designed for OEM seat pedestals and spacing. If you have aftermarket air-ride seats or custom pedestal mounts, you may need to trim the mats for proper fitment. Most rubber mats can be easily modified with a utility knife. For trucks with relocated seat bases or custom floor modifications, we recommend our universal-fit options that can be trimmed to size, or contact us for custom solutions.

How thick are the floor mats, and will they interfere with pedal operation or door clearance?

Our standard rubber floor mats range from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch thickness, while carpet options are typically 1/2 inch including backing. All mats are designed with proper pedal clearance and won't interfere with clutch, brake, or accelerator operation when properly installed. Door clearance is maintained with tapered edges. If your truck has worn door seals or sagging hinges, the additional height might require door adjustment. Heavy-duty options up to 1/2 inch thick are available for severe-duty applications.
