Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 567/579 Dash Accessories

Will these dash accessories fit my specific Peterbilt 567 or 579 model year?

Most dash accessories in this category are designed to fit Peterbilt 567 models from 2013-present and Peterbilt 579 models from 2012-present. However, there can be variations between model years, especially in pre-2016 models versus newer ones. Always check the product description for specific year compatibility, or contact our customer service team with your VIN number to ensure proper fitment. Pay special attention if you have a day cab versus sleeper configuration, as some accessories may differ.

What tools do I need to install dash panels and trim pieces?

Most dash installations require basic hand tools including Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, trim removal tools (plastic pry tools), and occasionally a 7mm or 8mm socket. Many accessories use existing mounting points and clips, but some may require drilling pilot holes for screws. Installation typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the complexity. We recommend having a heat gun or hair dryer handy for winter installations to make plastic components more pliable.

What's the difference between chrome plastic and stainless steel dash accessories?

Chrome plastic accessories are lighter weight, more affordable, and easier to install but may show wear over time, especially in direct sunlight. Stainless steel options are more durable, resist fading and scratching better, and maintain their appearance longer, but cost more and add slight weight. Chrome plastic works well for interior pieces with minimal sun exposure, while stainless steel is ideal for pieces near windows or vents where heat and UV exposure are higher.

Do dash accessories come with mounting hardware and instructions?

Most dash accessories include necessary mounting hardware such as clips, screws, or adhesive strips. However, installation instructions vary by manufacturer - some provide detailed guides while others assume professional installation knowledge. If instructions aren't included, we can often provide installation tips or direct you to online resources. For complex installations, we recommend consulting with a professional installer or experienced technician.

How do I match new dash accessories with my existing interior?

Peterbilt uses several interior color schemes including Splendor Gray, Prestige Black, and various wood grain finishes. When ordering, note your current dash color and finish - take photos in natural light if unsure. Chrome and stainless accessories are universal and complement any interior. For painted pieces, some slight color variation is normal between OEM and aftermarket parts. Order samples when available, especially for wood grain patterns, as monitor displays may not show exact colors.
