Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 367 Clamps, Brackets & Mounting

What years of Peterbilt 367 trucks are these clamps and brackets compatible with?

Most of our clamps, brackets, and mounting hardware are designed to fit Peterbilt 367 models from 2007 to present. However, there can be variations based on specific configurations like hood style (extended, standard, or set-back axle) and exhaust setup. We recommend checking the product description for exact year ranges or contacting our support team with your VIN for verification. Minor modifications may be needed for trucks with aftermarket accessories already installed.

Are these brackets made from stainless steel or regular steel, and will they rust?

Our inventory includes both stainless steel and powder-coated steel options. Stainless steel brackets (typically 304 or 316 grade) offer superior corrosion resistance and are ideal for trucks operating in harsh weather conditions or coastal areas. Powder-coated steel brackets provide good rust protection at a lower price point but may require touch-ups after 3-5 years of heavy use. Each product listing clearly indicates the material type, and we recommend stainless for exhaust-related mounting due to high heat exposure.

How difficult is it to install these mounting brackets, and what tools do I need?

Installation difficulty varies by component. Simple clamps and light brackets typically require basic hand tools (wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers) and take 15-30 minutes. Heavy-duty mounting brackets for accessories like toolboxes or spare tire carriers may require drilling and can take 1-3 hours. Essential tools include a drill with metal bits, thread locker, and a torque wrench. Most products include installation instructions, but professional installation is recommended for load-bearing brackets to ensure proper weight distribution and DOT compliance.

Will aftermarket brackets affect my warranty or cause fitment issues with other accessories?

Quality aftermarket brackets that don't require frame modifications typically won't affect your warranty. However, drilling into the frame or altering factory mounting points could impact coverage. Our brackets are designed to work with common accessories like light bars, CB antennas, and air cleaner setups. For trucks with existing modifications, measure clearances carefully - especially around exhaust stacks, air intakes, and mirror assemblies. We provide detailed dimensions for each product to help you verify compatibility before ordering.

What weight capacity should I look for in mounting brackets for my specific application?

Weight ratings vary significantly based on application. Light-duty brackets for CB antennas or small lights typically support 5-25 pounds. Medium-duty brackets for toolboxes or chain hangers should handle 50-150 pounds. Heavy-duty brackets for spare tire carriers or large storage boxes need ratings of 200+ pounds. Always choose brackets rated at least 25% above your actual load weight to account for road vibration and dynamic forces. Check that mounting points on your truck can also support the combined weight of the bracket and accessory.
