Peterbilt 389 Glider Fender Mounting & Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 389 Glider Fender Mounting & Acc.

What is included in this category?

This category covers the hardware and accessories needed to mount half-fenders and full fenders on a Peterbilt 389 Glider, including fender brackets, mounting arms, braces, bolt kits, and related hardware used to secure fenders to the frame or axle assembly.

Will these mounting components fit my specific Peterbilt 389 Glider setup?

Fender mounting hardware can vary depending on axle configuration, fender style, and whether your truck uses factory or aftermarket fenders. Before ordering, check the listed axle type and fender compatibility on each product page, and compare part numbers or measurements to what is currently on your truck. If you are unsure, reach out to our parts team with your VIN or truck specs so we can confirm fitment.

What materials are these mounting brackets and arms made from, and what finish options are available?

Most mounting arms and brackets are made from steel or aluminum for strength and durability under road vibration. Finish options typically include raw steel, chrome-plated, or powder-coated black, depending on the specific product. Chrome and polished finishes are popular for show trucks, while raw or coated steel is common for working rigs that prioritize function over appearance.

Do these mounting kits come with all the hardware needed for installation?

Many mounting kits include the brackets, arms, and bolts needed for a complete installation, but this varies by product. Some listings are for individual components, such as a single brace or bracket, rather than a full kit. Always review the product description to confirm what is included before purchasing, and pick up any additional hardware separately if needed.

Can I install these fender mounting components myself, or do I need a professional?

Fender mounting brackets and arms are generally straightforward to install with basic hand tools and can often be done in a shop or driveway setting. That said, proper alignment matters, both for appearance and to prevent the fender from rubbing against tires or the frame. If you are not comfortable with drilling, welding, or torque specs, having a qualified truck shop handle the installation is a safer bet.
