Peterbilt 567/579 Dash Kits

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 567/579 Dash Kits

What is included in a Peterbilt 567/579 dash kit?

A dash kit typically includes decorative overlay panels made to fit over the factory dash trim, covering the gauge cluster surround, center console, and door panel accents. Kits are generally sold as multi-piece sets designed to match the factory dash layout of the 567 or 579 model, though exact piece counts and coverage vary by manufacturer and kit style.

Will this dash kit fit my specific truck without modification?

Dash kits in this category are designed to fit the Peterbilt 567 and 579 dash configurations, but fitment can vary slightly depending on the model year and whether your truck has factory options like a different gauge layout or added switches. We recommend checking the product description and comparing your current dash layout to the kit's fitment notes before ordering to avoid needing to trim or drill for a proper fit.

What materials and finish options are available?

Dash kits are commonly offered in finishes such as woodgrain, carbon fiber look, brushed aluminum, and diamond plate, with the underlying material typically being a durable plastic or composite substrate. The finish is meant to hold up to daily cab use, but like any interior trim, it can show wear over time from sun exposure and regular contact.

How is a dash kit installed, and do I need special tools?

Most dash kits attach over the existing dash trim using adhesive backing, existing factory screw points, or a combination of both. Basic hand tools such as a screwdriver and trim removal tool are usually sufficient, and many customers install these kits themselves in a few hours. If your kit includes pieces around gauges or switches, you may need to briefly disconnect trim panels to get a clean, flush fit.

Can I clean and maintain the dash kit without damaging the finish?

Yes, most dash kits can be wiped down with a soft cloth and a mild interior cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads, especially on woodgrain or carbon fiber finishes, since these can dull the coating or cause discoloration over time. Regular gentle cleaning helps preserve the appearance for the long run.
