Peterbilt 367 Exterior Parts

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 367 Exterior Parts

Will these exterior parts fit my specific year model Peterbilt 367?

Most of our Peterbilt 367 exterior parts are designed to fit model years 2007-2015, which covers the primary production run. However, compatibility can vary by specific part type. Bumpers, grilles, and hood accessories typically have the broadest fitment range, while items like mirror brackets or light bezels may be year-specific. We recommend checking the product description for exact fitment details or contacting our customer service team with your OEM number for verification before ordering.

What's the difference between chrome, stainless steel, and aluminum exterior parts?

Chrome-plated parts offer the brightest mirror finish but require regular polishing to prevent pitting and rust. Stainless steel parts are more durable and resistant to corrosion, maintaining their appearance with less maintenance, though they have a slightly different shine than chrome. Aluminum parts are the lightest option and won't rust, but they can oxidize over time and may not achieve the same high-polish finish. For trucks operating in harsh weather conditions or coastal areas, we typically recommend stainless steel for the best long-term value.

Can I install these exterior parts myself, or do I need professional help?

Many exterior parts like bug shields, light bezels, and grille inserts can be installed with basic hand tools in 30-60 minutes. However, items such as bumpers, full grille assemblies, and hood replacements typically require two people and may need alignment adjustments or drilling. Most parts come with installation hardware and basic instructions. We've found that customers with moderate mechanical experience can handle about 70% of exterior part installations, but we always recommend professional installation for safety-critical components like bumpers and mirrors.

How do I match aftermarket parts to my truck's existing exterior finish?

The key is identifying whether your current parts are chrome, polished stainless, or brushed finish. Chrome has the brightest, most reflective surface, while polished stainless has a slightly warmer tone. Brushed finishes have visible grain lines. If you're mixing new parts with existing ones, stick to the same material type for the best match. Keep in mind that even identical finishes may show slight variations between manufacturers. For painted parts, we recommend ordering color swatches or consulting with a local body shop for exact color matching.

What's the typical lifespan of these exterior parts, and what warranty coverage is available?

Quality exterior parts typically last 5-10 years with proper care, though this varies significantly based on material and environmental exposure. Chrome parts in mild climates may look great for a decade, while those exposed to road salt might show deterioration in 3-4 years. Most manufacturers offer 1-year warranties against defects, with some stainless steel products carrying 3-5 year warranties. The warranty typically covers manufacturing defects but not damage from improper installation, accidents, or normal wear. We recommend reviewing the specific warranty terms listed on each product page before purchasing.
