Peterbilt 352 Floor Covers & Mats

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 352 Floor Mats

What years and cab configurations do these floor mats fit?

Our Peterbilt 352 floor mats are designed to fit all 352 models from 1969 through 1980. They're available for both standard day cab and extended cab configurations. The mats are precision-cut to match the original floor pan dimensions, including proper cutouts for the clutch, brake, and accelerator pedals. If you have a modified floor or aftermarket seats, we recommend measuring your floor space before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

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

Rubber mats are ideal for heavy-duty use and wet conditions. They're waterproof, chemical-resistant, and easy to hose off, making them perfect for construction, logging, or agricultural applications. Our rubber mats feature deep grooves that trap dirt and moisture. Carpet mats provide a more finished appearance and better insulation against heat and cold, but require more maintenance. They work well for highway trucks or show vehicles. Both options are significantly thicker and more durable than universal aftermarket mats, with rubber mats typically lasting 5-7 years and carpet mats 3-5 years under normal use.

How difficult is the installation, and do I need to remove the seats?

Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes and doesn't require removing the seats completely. You'll need to unbolt and tilt the seats back to properly position the mats. The mats are designed to lay flat without adhesive, though some drivers prefer using double-sided automotive tape around the edges for extra security. Make sure to clean the floor thoroughly before installation, as any debris underneath can cause premature wear. The mats come with pre-cut holes that align with factory seat bolt locations.

Will these mats work with aftermarket air-ride seats or seat pedestals?

Our standard mats are designed for factory seat mounting points. If you have aftermarket air-ride seats or custom pedestals, the mats will likely require trimming around the base. Many customers successfully modify the mats using a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. We recommend creating a cardboard template first to ensure accurate cuts. The material is designed to be cut without fraying or separating, maintaining a clean edge after modification.

How do these compare to original Peterbilt mats in terms of thickness and quality?

Our floor mats match or exceed OEM specifications. The rubber mats are 3/8 inch thick with a heavy-duty nibbed surface pattern, compared to the original 1/4 inch thickness. Carpet mats feature 20-ounce automotive-grade carpet with a waterproof rubber backing, versus the 16-ounce original specification. Both options include reinforced heel pads in high-wear areas. The mats are manufactured in the USA using the same commercial-grade materials found in current production trucks, ensuring they'll withstand daily commercial use.
