Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 352 Floor Trim
What years and models of Peterbilt 352 are these floor trims compatible with?
Our Peterbilt 352 floor trims are designed to fit 1979-1987 Peterbilt 352 models, including both COE (Cab Over Engine) and conventional configurations. These trims are direct replacements for OEM parts and will fit standard cab floors. For extended cab or custom floor configurations, you may need to verify measurements or contact our support team for specific fitment guidance.
What materials are the floor trims made from, and how durable are they?
We offer floor trims in both polished stainless steel and heavy-duty aluminum options. The stainless steel trims feature 16-gauge construction with a mirror-finish polish that resists rust and corrosion. Our aluminum trims are made from 3003-grade aluminum with a brushed or polished finish. Both materials are significantly more durable than factory plastic or rubber trims and typically last 15-20 years with proper care.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 2-3 hours and requires basic hand tools including a drill with metal bits, pop rivet gun, measuring tape, and tin snips for any minor adjustments. Most floor trims use the existing mounting holes, though some drilling may be required depending on your cab's condition. We include detailed instructions with pre-marked drilling templates. Many customers complete the installation themselves, but professional installation usually runs $150-300 if preferred.
What finish options are available, and how do they match existing chrome?
We stock mirror-polished stainless steel, brushed stainless steel, and polished aluminum finishes. The mirror-polished stainless provides the closest match to existing chrome accessories and maintains its shine with minimal maintenance. Brushed finishes offer a more subtle, modern appearance that hides minor scratches better. All finishes are designed to complement standard Peterbilt chrome packages from the 1980s era.
Do the floor trims come as a complete set, and what exactly is included?
Yes, our floor trim sets include all pieces needed for a complete floor installation: driver and passenger side threshold plates, center console trim pieces (if applicable to your model), and all necessary mounting hardware including stainless steel screws and rivets. Some sets also include rubber seal strips for the underside to prevent rattling. Each set covers approximately 6-8 linear feet of floor edging, depending on your specific cab configuration.
