Heavy equipment aftermarket parts

Aftermarket body parts are not often available except for chrome and stainless steel accessories and add-on parts. However, mechanical parts are readily available and are often the more cost effective option. A few of the commonly available aftermarket parts are:
  • lights
  • mirrors
  • flaps
  • trim pieces
  • boxes
  • steps
  • racks, and
  • bumpers.
In some instances a part may be fabricated, as opposed to replacement with OEM.
Note: For example, Peterbilt step and battery boxes. OEM cost is approximately 3 times the cost of fabrication, which averages at $750.00. Meanwhile, there is no visible difference if fabricated properly.

Aftermarket bumpers are often much more cost effective than OEM. It is common where it has been changed by the prior owner to a style with more lights. Usually, these have been purchased in the USA. These need to be checked carefully as there are a few local suppliers with significant variations in cost for the same part.
