Peterbilt 389 Glider Front Bumpers

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 389 Glider Front Bumpers

Will these bumpers fit my Peterbilt 389 Glider correctly?

These bumpers are designed to match the front-end dimensions and mounting configuration used on Peterbilt 389 Glider models. Because glider kits can vary slightly depending on the builder and model year, we recommend confirming your truck's specific hood and frame setup against the fitment details listed on each product page before ordering.

What materials are available, and how do they hold up over time?

Front bumpers in this category are typically offered in steel and aluminum. Steel bumpers tend to be heavier and more rigid, while aluminum options are lighter and naturally resistant to rust. Both materials are commonly finished or left raw for painting, so your choice often comes down to weight preference, maintenance expectations, and finish plans.

Do these bumpers come finished, or will I need to paint or polish them?

Finish options vary by product. Some bumpers arrive with a painted or polished finish ready to install, while others are sold raw or in a rolled/unfinished state for shops that plan to paint, polish, or chrome the bumper themselves. Check the individual listing for finish details before purchasing.

Are these bumpers pre-drilled for lights, air lines, and other accessories?

Many bumpers in this category include pre-drilled holes for common accessories such as lights, air lines, or brackets, but drilling patterns differ between manufacturers and styles. Review the product description and images closely to confirm whether the bumper will accommodate the accessories you plan to install.

Will I need any additional brackets or hardware to install this bumper?

In most cases, mounting brackets and hardware are either included or sold separately depending on the specific bumper and manufacturer. Because glider trucks can have unique frame setups, we recommend reviewing the listed included components and reaching out to our team if you are unsure whether additional brackets are required for your installation.
