Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 379 Bumpers
What years do these bumpers fit, and will they work on my extended hood 379?
Our Peterbilt 379 bumpers are designed to fit all model years from 1987 to 2007. They work with both standard and extended hood configurations, including the 127" BBC and 119" BBC models. However, some aftermarket bumpers may require minor adjustments for extended hoods, particularly if you have custom light bars or accessories. We recommend checking the specific product description or contacting us with your VIN to ensure perfect fitment.
Are these bumpers made from steel or aluminum, and how thick is the material?
We carry both steel and aluminum options. Steel bumpers typically use 14-gauge or 16-gauge steel (approximately 0.075" to 0.060" thick) and are chrome-plated or powder-coated. Aluminum bumpers are usually made from 3/16" to 1/4" thick aluminum and can be polished or powder-coated. Steel bumpers are heavier (50-80 lbs) but more impact-resistant, while aluminum bumpers are lighter (25-40 lbs) and won't rust. Each product listing specifies the exact material and thickness.
Do I need to drill new holes or modify my truck to install these bumpers?
Most of our replacement bumpers are designed as direct bolt-on replacements using your existing mounting holes and hardware. Standard installations typically take 1-2 hours with basic tools. However, if you're switching from a factory plastic bumper to an aftermarket metal one, or adding accessories like light bars or tow hooks, you may need to drill additional holes. We include detailed installation instructions with each bumper, and mounting hardware is included with most models.
What's the difference between OEM style and Texas, boxed-end, or rolled-end bumper styles?
OEM style bumpers replicate the factory design with standard curved ends. Texas bumpers feature a distinctive squared-off design with taller profiles (typically 18-20" vs 16" standard) for a more aggressive look. Boxed-end bumpers have fully enclosed ends for a cleaner appearance and added strength. Rolled-end bumpers have rounded, tapered ends that curve back toward the truck. Each style fits the same mounting points but offers different aesthetics and functionality for accessories.
Will chrome bumpers rust or peel, and how long do powder-coated finishes last?
Quality chrome-plated steel bumpers feature triple-chrome plating (copper, nickel, then chrome) that resists rust and peeling for 5-10 years with proper care. Look for bumpers with at least 0.003" chrome thickness. Powder-coated finishes typically last 7-15 years and resist chipping better than paint. Both finishes require regular cleaning and waxing. Minor surface rust on chrome can often be polished out, while powder coating may need touch-up paint for chips. Aluminum bumpers with polished finishes require more frequent polishing but won't rust.
