Peterbilt 387 Dash Nuts & Screws

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 387 Dash Nuts & Screws

What are Peterbilt 387 dash nuts and screws used for?

These small fasteners are used to secure interior dash panels, trim pieces, gauge clusters, and other components within the dashboard assembly of a Peterbilt 387. Over time, these fasteners can strip, corrode, or go missing during previous repairs, making replacement necessary to keep the dash panels properly secured and rattle-free.

Will these nuts and screws fit my specific Peterbilt 387 model year?

Fastener sizing and thread patterns can vary slightly depending on the dash panel or component being secured, as well as the production year of your truck. We recommend checking the listed specifications, including thread size and length, and comparing them to your existing hardware before ordering to confirm proper fit.

What material and finish are these fasteners made from?

Most dash nuts and screws in this category are made from steel or stainless steel and may feature a zinc-plated, chrome, or black oxide finish depending on the specific part. These finishes help resist corrosion and match the factory appearance of the original hardware.

Can I reuse my old dash panel with new fasteners, or do I need a full hardware kit?

In most cases, you can reuse your existing dash panel and simply replace the worn, stripped, or missing fasteners. Some panels may require a specific quantity or combination of nuts and screws, so it helps to know how many fasteners your panel originally used before placing an order.

Are these fasteners easy to install without professional help?

Yes, dash nuts and screws are generally straightforward to install with basic hand tools such as a screwdriver or small wrench or nut driver. No specialized equipment is typically required, though care should be taken not to overtighten, as this can crack or warp interior dash plastic and trim.
