Peterbilt 362 Hood Emblems & Bezels

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 362 Hood Emblems & Bezels

What exactly are hood emblems and bezels?

Hood emblems are the decorative nameplate badges that display the Peterbilt logo on the hood, while bezels are the trim pieces or frames that surround and mount those emblems. Together they give the front of your truck a finished, factory-style appearance and allow you to replace worn, faded, or damaged factory pieces with new or upgraded versions.

Will these emblems and bezels fit my Peterbilt 362?

Products in this category are designed to match the hood profile and mounting points used on the Peterbilt 362. However, hood styles and emblem placement can vary slightly by model year and trim configuration, so its important to compare the dimensions and mounting hole pattern of the part you are considering to your existing emblem or bezel before ordering.

What materials and finishes are available?

You will typically find emblems and bezels made from chromed plastic, stainless steel, or aluminum, depending on the specific product. Finish options often include polished chrome or brushed stainless, which affect both appearance and long-term durability against weather and road grime.

How are hood emblems and bezels installed?

Most emblems and bezels are installed using existing mounting holes on the hood, secured with clips, adhesive backing, or small fasteners depending on the design. Installation generally does not require any drilling or permanent modification, but you should always check the specific mounting method listed for each product before purchasing.

How do I keep chrome or stainless emblems and bezels looking new?

Regular washing with a mild soap and water solution, followed by drying with a soft cloth, will help prevent water spots and buildup. For chrome pieces, a dedicated chrome polish applied periodically can help maintain shine and reduce the risk of pitting or dulling over time, especially in areas with heavy road salt or exposure to harsh weather.
