Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 362 Front Bumpers

What years of Peterbilt 362 trucks will these bumpers fit?

Our Peterbilt 362 front bumpers are designed to fit models from 1980 through 1986. While the mounting points remained consistent throughout these production years, we recommend verifying your specific truck's configuration before ordering. Some custom-built 362s may have variations in frame rail spacing or front-end modifications that could affect fitment. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your VIN for verification.

Are these bumpers made from chrome-plated steel or stainless steel?

We offer both options depending on your needs and budget. Chrome-plated steel bumpers provide the classic mirror finish at a lower price point but require regular maintenance to prevent rust. Our 304 stainless steel bumpers cost more initially but offer superior corrosion resistance and maintain their appearance with minimal upkeep. Chrome-plated versions typically have a 16-gauge steel core with triple chrome plating, while stainless options are 14-gauge for added durability.

Can I install a 362 front bumper myself, or do I need professional help?

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours for someone with basic mechanical skills. You'll need standard hand tools, a floor jack or helper to support the bumper during mounting, and possibly a drill for minor bracket adjustments. The main challenges include aligning the bumper properly and managing its weight (usually 80-120 pounds). Most bumpers come with mounting hardware, but you may need to reuse some original brackets. We provide installation instructions, though many customers prefer professional installation to ensure proper alignment and avoid potential damage.

What's the difference between OEM-style and aftermarket Texas-style bumpers?

OEM-style bumpers replicate the original factory design with a standard 18-inch depth and traditional mounting. Texas-style bumpers extend 20-22 inches from the truck, offering more protection and a distinctive appearance preferred by many owner-operators. Texas bumpers also typically include additional mounting points for accessories like light bars or air horn brackets. Both styles fit the same mounting locations, but Texas bumpers add approximately 30-40 pounds and may affect approach angles when maneuvering in tight spaces.

Do these bumpers come with mounting brackets and hardware?

Most Peterbilt 362 front bumpers include basic mounting bolts and washers, but complete bracket sets are typically sold separately. This is because bracket conditions vary significantly between trucks, and many drivers prefer to reuse their existing brackets if they're in good shape. New bracket sets run $150-300 depending on configuration. Some bumpers designed for specific applications (like heavy-haul or wrecker service) may include specialized mounting hardware. Always verify what's included before ordering to avoid installation delays.
