Peterbilt 567/579 Front Fenders & Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 567/579 Front Fenders & Acc.

Will these fenders fit my Peterbilt 567 or 579 without modification?

Most fenders in this category are designed to match the factory contours of the Peterbilt 567 and 579 hood assemblies, but exact fit can vary depending on your truck's model year, hood style, and whether it originally came with steel or fiberglass fenders. Always check the listed specifications and compare them to your truck's OEM part number before ordering to avoid fitment issues.

What materials are available for these fenders, and how do they compare?

Front fenders for these models are typically offered in steel or fiberglass. Steel fenders tend to hold up well to impacts and are easier to repair with standard bodywork techniques, while fiberglass fenders are lighter, resist corrosion, and often provide a smoother factory-style finish. The right choice usually comes down to your priorities around weight, durability, and long-term maintenance.

Do the fenders come pre-painted or primed, or will I need to paint them myself?

Availability varies by product. Some fenders are sold primed and ready for paint, while others may be offered unfinished or in a gel-coat finish for fiberglass options. Check each product listing carefully, since paint-matching your cab color will require additional bodywork and painting after installation if the fender isn't sold pre-finished.

Can I install these fenders myself, or should I have a shop do it?

Many fenders and fender accessories, such as brackets, extensions, and hardware kits, are designed for straightforward bolt-on installation using factory mounting points. If you're comfortable with basic hand tools and following a service manual, DIY installation is often possible. However, if your fender includes structural mounting brackets or requires alignment with the hood assembly, having a shop handle the install can help ensure proper fit and reduce the risk of cracking or misalignment.

What accessories are typically included or available alongside the fenders?

This category often includes related components such as fender brackets, mounting hardware, fender extensions, and trim pieces. These accessories are meant to complement the fenders themselves, so it's worth checking whether your fender purchase includes the necessary brackets and hardware or if those need to be ordered separately.
