Peterbilt 387 Custom Pedals

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 387 Custom Pedals

Will these pedals fit my Peterbilt 387 without modification?

Custom pedals in this category are designed to match the factory mounting points and pedal arm configuration used in the Peterbilt 387, so they typically bolt into place using the existing hardware locations. That said, production years can bring small variations in floorboard layout or pedal arm style, so it is a good idea to confirm your truck's specific setup before ordering, especially if your cab has been modified or repaired in the past.

What materials are these pedals made from, and how do they hold up?

Most custom pedals for the 387 are constructed from stainless steel or aluminum, often featuring a diamond-plate, textured, or drilled pattern for grip and a distinctive look. Stainless steel options generally resist corrosion and wear better over time, while aluminum tends to be lighter. The finish on either material is meant to withstand daily cab traffic, road grime, and moisture, though how it looks long-term will depend on how well it is cleaned and maintained.

Do these pedals include anti-slip features for safety?

Many custom pedal pads incorporate a raised or textured surface, such as diamond plate or perforated designs, to help improve traction underfoot in wet, muddy, or icy conditions. While these designs are intended to reduce slipping compared to a smooth factory pedal, drivers should still keep pedals clean and free of debris or oil buildup to maintain grip.

How difficult is it to install these pedals myself?

Installation is generally straightforward for someone comfortable with basic hand tools, since most custom pedals are designed as direct replacements using the original mounting holes and hardware. You will typically need to remove the factory pedal pad or cover and secure the new one in its place. If your pedal assembly has additional brackets, sensors, or non-standard hardware, it may take a bit more time, so reviewing the included instructions or checking with our team before starting is recommended.

Are these pedals just for looks, or do they affect pedal feel and performance?

Custom pedals are primarily an appearance and grip upgrade rather than a performance modification, since they do not change the underlying pedal mechanism, linkage, or braking and throttle response. Some drivers do notice a difference in foot feel due to the surface texture or slightly different pad thickness, but the core function of the pedal remains the same as the factory setup.
