Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 567/579 Deck Plates & Air Line Boxes

Will these deck plates fit my specific Peterbilt 567 or 579 model year?

Most deck plates and air line boxes for Peterbilt 567/579 models are designed to fit trucks from 2013 to present. However, there can be variations based on your specific configuration, especially between day cab and sleeper models. We recommend checking your existing deck plate measurements or contacting us with your VIN to ensure proper fitment. The mounting hole patterns are typically standardized, but some custom configurations may require modification.

What's the difference between aluminum and stainless steel deck plates?

Aluminum deck plates are lighter weight (typically 8-12 lbs) and more affordable, making them ideal for weight-conscious operations. They resist corrosion well but may show scratches more easily. Stainless steel deck plates are heavier (15-20 lbs) but offer superior durability and maintain their mirror-like finish longer. Stainless is recommended for harsh weather conditions or if you want the best long-term appearance. Both materials are significantly more durable than the factory plastic versions.

How difficult is the installation, and what tools do I need?

Installation typically takes 1-2 hours per side for someone with basic mechanical skills. You'll need a drill with metal bits (if new holes are required), a socket set, and possibly a rivet gun for some models. Most deck plates use existing mounting points, but some customization may be needed depending on your truck's configuration. The air line boxes usually require routing your existing air lines through the new box, which involves disconnecting and reconnecting fittings. We recommend having thread sealant and new air line fittings on hand.

Do these deck plates come with air line boxes included, or are they sold separately?

This varies by manufacturer and model. Some deck plates come as complete assemblies with integrated air line boxes, while others are sold as separate components. Integrated units typically cost more but provide a cleaner, more professional appearance. If purchasing separately, ensure the air line box is compatible with your chosen deck plate style. Check product descriptions carefully, as some listings may show both items but only include one.

Will aftermarket deck plates affect my warranty or DOT compliance?

Properly installed aftermarket deck plates that meet or exceed OEM specifications should not affect your warranty or DOT compliance. These are considered cosmetic upgrades that don't alter the structural integrity of your truck. However, ensure any air line modifications maintain proper routing and protection as required by DOT regulations. Keep all factory air line connections accessible for inspection. Most quality aftermarket deck plates are designed to meet the same safety standards as OEM parts.
