Peterbilt 387 Hood Emblems & Bezels

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 387 Hood Emblems & Bezels

What exactly are hood emblems and bezels?

Hood emblems are the decorative Peterbilt nameplates or logo badges mounted on the hood, while bezels are the trim rings or housings that surround them, often also used around lights or other hood-mounted hardware. Together they provide the finished, branded look on the front of your Peterbilt 387.

Will these emblems and bezels fit my Peterbilt 387?

The products in this category are designed to fit the Peterbilt 387 model specifically. However, because trucks can have different hood configurations or prior modifications, its a good idea to compare the mounting hole pattern and overall dimensions of the listed part to your existing hardware before ordering.

What materials and finishes are available?

You will typically find emblems and bezels made from chrome-plated plastic, stainless steel, or die-cast metal. Finish options usually include chrome and stainless for a polished look, giving you some flexibility to match the rest of your truck's trim and accessories.

How do I install a replacement hood emblem or bezel?

Most emblems and bezels are held in place with clips, adhesive backing, or small fasteners that thread into existing mounting holes. Installation generally involves removing the old part, cleaning the mounting surface, and securing the new piece using the same attachment method as the original. No specialized tools are typically required, but taking care not to overtighten fasteners on chrome or plastic parts will help avoid cracking.

How do I keep chrome or stainless emblems looking new?

Regular washing with mild soap and water, along with a dedicated chrome or metal polish, will help maintain shine and prevent corrosion or pitting over time. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners, and try to address road salt or grime buildup promptly, especially in winter driving conditions.
