Peterbilt 359 Dash Nuts & Screws

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 359 Dash Nuts & Screws

What are Peterbilt 359 dash nuts and screws used for?

These are the small fasteners used to secure dash panels, trim pieces, gauges, and interior components to the dash structure of a Peterbilt 359. They are replacement hardware for pieces that have gone missing, stripped, or corroded over time, allowing you to properly remount dash panels and trim without improvising with mismatched hardware.

Will these nuts and screws fit my specific Peterbilt 359 model year?

Fastener sizing on the Peterbilt 359 has generally stayed consistent across production years since the dash design changed little over the model run, but slight variations can exist depending on trim level or prior repairs to your dash. Check the thread size, length, and head style listed in the product details against your existing hardware before ordering, and reach out to our team if you are unsure.

What material and finish are these fasteners made from?

Dash nuts and screws in this category are typically offered in stainless steel or zinc-plated steel to resist corrosion and hold up to the vibration and temperature swings found in a truck cab. The finish listed on each product page will indicate whether you are getting a stainless, plated, or painted option, so review that detail if matching the look of your original hardware matters.

How do I know which size or thread pitch to order?

The best way to confirm the correct size is to remove one of your existing screws or nuts and measure the diameter, thread pitch, and length, then compare those measurements to the specifications listed on our product page. If your original hardware is lost or too damaged to measure accurately, our customer service team can help you identify the correct part based on the panel or component you are reinstalling.

Do I need any special tools to install dash nuts and screws?

Most dash hardware can be installed with basic hand tools such as a screwdriver, small ratchet, or nut driver, depending on the fastener head style. Because these fasteners are often located in tight spaces behind or around the dash panel, a stubby or offset screwdriver can make the job easier, but no specialty tools are typically required.
