Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 387 Cab & Related
What years does the Peterbilt 387 cab parts fit, and are they interchangeable with other models?
Peterbilt 387 cab parts are designed for model years 1999-2007. Many exterior cab components are interchangeable with the Peterbilt 385 (2000-2007) due to their shared cab design. However, interior components and mounting brackets may vary between years. Always verify your specific VIN and production date before ordering, as mid-year changes can affect compatibility.
What material options are available for 387 cab components, and which holds up best?
Most aftermarket cab parts come in either fiberglass, ABS plastic, or steel. Fiberglass offers the best durability and paint adhesion but costs more. ABS plastic provides good value and resists cracking in cold weather. Steel components are typically limited to brackets and structural pieces. For exterior panels and fairings, we recommend fiberglass for long-haul applications and ABS for local or regional use.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for cab fairings and panels?
Basic hand tools are sufficient for most cab component installations, including sockets, wrenches, and drill bits for new mounting holes. Side fairings typically require 2-3 hours for DIY installation with proper alignment critical for aerodynamics. Door panels and interior trim can be installed in 30-60 minutes per piece. Complex items like roof fairings or cab extenders may benefit from professional installation to ensure proper sealing and wind resistance.
What finishes are available, and can I paint over them?
Most cab components come in either primed gray ready for paint, raw unpainted material, or pre-painted white. Primed surfaces accept all automotive paints after light sanding with 400-grit paper. Raw fiberglass requires primer application first. Chrome and stainless steel options are available for select trim pieces and accessories. Match your existing cab color code for best results when painting.
How do I identify the correct cab configuration for ordering parts?
Peterbilt 387 cabs come in three main configurations: Day Cab, 48-inch Flat Top Sleeper, and 70-inch Flat Top Sleeper. Check your door jamb sticker for the cab model code, or measure from the back of the cab to the rear cab wall. Extended hood models (127 BBC vs 120 BBC) may require different side fairings. When ordering windows, mirrors, or fairings, always specify your exact cab configuration to ensure proper fit.
