Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 587 Cab, Sleeper & Cowl Panels

What year models of Peterbilt 587 do these panels fit?

Our cab, sleeper, and cowl panels are designed to fit Peterbilt 587 models from 2011 through 2017. Due to design changes in 2018 and later models, these panels are not compatible with 2018+ trucks. Always verify your truck's exact year and VIN before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

Are these panels made from aluminum or steel, and how does the material affect durability?

Most of our Peterbilt 587 panels are manufactured from either 16-gauge steel or marine-grade aluminum. Steel panels offer superior impact resistance and are ideal for heavy-duty applications, while aluminum panels provide excellent corrosion resistance and weight savings. Both materials come with protective coatings, but aluminum panels typically require less maintenance in high-salt environments.

Do I need to drill new holes for installation, or do these panels use existing mounting points?

The majority of our replacement panels are designed to use factory mounting points and existing holes. However, some aftermarket upgrade panels may require minimal drilling for accessories or custom features. Each product description specifies whether drilling is required. We recommend having a professional installer assess your specific truck before beginning installation.

What's the difference between OEM-style and aftermarket cowl panels?

OEM-style panels match factory specifications exactly, including mounting points, contours, and finish options. Aftermarket panels often include upgrades such as additional LED light cutouts, enhanced ventilation louvers, or chrome accents. While aftermarket options can provide aesthetic and functional improvements, OEM-style panels ensure seamless integration with existing body lines and are typically easier to install.

How long does installation typically take, and what tools are required?

Professional installation of cab or sleeper panels typically takes 3-6 hours depending on the specific panel and any modifications needed. Basic tools required include socket sets, drill bits (if applicable), rivet gun, and proper sealants. Cowl panels generally install faster at 1-2 hours. We strongly recommend professional installation for sleeper panels due to their size and the importance of proper weather sealing.
