Peterbilt 389 Glider Quarter Fenders

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 389 Glider Quarter Fenders

What materials are these quarter fenders available in?

Peterbilt 389 glider quarter fenders are typically offered in stainless steel or painted/primed steel construction. Stainless versions provide a polished, corrosion-resistant finish that holds up well to road spray and weather, while steel fenders are generally sold primed or ready for paint so they can be finished to match the truck. Be sure to check the individual product listing to confirm which material and finish option you are ordering.

Will these fenders fit my specific 389 glider kit configuration?

Quarter fenders are shaped to work with the wheelbase, axle setup, and tire size common to Peterbilt 389 glider kits, but slight variations between chassis builds can affect fitment. Before ordering, check the tire size and mounting width listed in the product description against your truck's specs, and reach out to our team if you are unsure whether a specific fender will clear your setup.

Do these fenders come with mounting brackets and hardware?

Some quarter fender kits include mounting brackets and hardware, while others are sold as the fender shell only, requiring brackets to be purchased separately. Review the product listing carefully to see exactly what is included in the box so you can plan for any additional parts you may need before installation.

Can I paint or polish these fenders to match my truck?

Yes. Steel quarter fenders are commonly sold primed specifically so they can be painted to match your truck's color scheme. Stainless steel fenders usually arrive with a polished or brushed finish and can be further polished to a mirror shine if desired, though they do not require paint.

How difficult is it to install quarter fenders on a glider kit build?

Installation difficulty depends on whether brackets and mounting points are already in place on your chassis. In most cases, installation involves positioning the fender over the wheel, attaching it to the frame or fender brackets, and adjusting for proper tire clearance. Basic hand tools are typically sufficient, but because glider kit builds can vary, it is a good idea to test-fit the fender before final tightening to ensure there is adequate clearance around the tire.
