Peterbilt 367 Dash Knobs

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 367 Dash Knobs

What are Peterbilt 367 dash knobs used for?

Dash knobs are the control handles used to operate switches, valves, and levers on the dashboard, such as headlight switches, panel switches, heater and defroster controls, and other in-cab controls. They are a small but important part of the interior since they take daily wear from a driver's hands and are often the first thing to crack, loosen, or wear smooth over time.

Will these knobs fit my Peterbilt 367 without modification?

Most dash knobs in this category are designed to match the factory fitment for the Peterbilt 367, including the correct shaft size, thread pitch, or push-on style used by the original equipment. However, dash and switch configurations can vary depending on the model year and how the cab was optioned from the factory, so it is a good idea to compare the shaft type and knob size against your existing part before ordering to confirm a proper fit.

What materials and finishes are available?

Dash knobs are commonly offered in materials like chrome-plated plastic, aluminum, and durable molded plastics, depending on the style. Finish options typically range from chrome and stainless to black or wood-grain looks, giving drivers the ability to match or upgrade the existing look of their dash rather than being limited to the factory finish.

How do I install a replacement dash knob?

Most dash knobs are a simple pull-off or unscrew installation. Push-on style knobs typically pull straight off the shaft and press back into place, while threaded knobs unscrew counterclockwise and thread on by hand. No special tools are usually required, but it helps to note how the old knob was oriented before removing it, especially if it lines up with an indicator or label on the dash.

Why do dash knobs crack, loosen, or wear out over time?

Dash knobs see constant daily use and are exposed to sunlight, temperature swings, and repeated gripping and turning, which over time can cause plastic to become brittle, chrome plating to wear thin, or the internal fitting to loosen its grip on the shaft. Replacing a worn knob is usually a low-cost way to restore both the function and appearance of the dash without having to replace the underlying switch or control.
