Bumpers for Petes
Hendrickson Bumper and Trim's durable corrosion-resistant
Aero Clad bumper for Peterbilt's Model 587 offers an addition-
al 2.8 inches of ground clearance, making it less susceptible
to damage caused by curbs, ramps and snow drifts, while the
Model 367 bumper offers a 26-pound weight savings com-
pared to the steel OEM bumper option. Aero Clad is a bi-metal
material that bonds stainless steel and aluminum at a molec-
ular level for a chrome-like finish designed not to rust, peel
or fade over time. The material also is engineered to maintain
higher yield strength for added durability.
