These parts are designed to hold accessories and systems firmly in place on the specific frame and body configuration of the Peterbilt 567 and 579 models.

Will these clamps and brackets fit my specific truck without modification?

What materials are these clamps and brackets made from, and will they hold up in daily use?

Products in this category are typically made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, depending on the application. Steel brackets are often finished with a protective coating such as powder coat or zinc plating to resist corrosion, while stainless steel and aluminum options offer additional resistance to rust in harsh weather or road conditions.

Are these replacement parts or upgrades from the original factory hardware?

Many of the clamps and brackets in this category are designed as direct replacements for worn, damaged, or missing factory hardware, matching OEM fit and function.
