What This Bracket Actually Does
This isn't the shiny bumper itself — it's the structural piece that mounts between the frame horns and the cover, giving the whole front end something to bolt to besides sheet metal. On the Hino 238/258/268/338 series these trucks share a common front clip design across those model years, which is why one reinforcement number covers all four chassis.
Common failure is corrosion at the mounting flange from road salt and washing at odd angles, or a bent bracket from a low dock bumper or curb hit. Once it's tweaked even a little, the cover won't line up right and you'll chase gaps and rattles for months.
This is a steel piece, not plastic, so it's meant to take a hit and get replaced rather than repaired with a torch and a prayer — trying to straighten a bent one usually just moves the problem somewhere else on the bracket.
Reading the Cross Reference
Hino's own 52101E0243 shows up as a running-change or regional number for the same physical part — happens a lot when a supplier tooling update gets a new suffix but the bracket itself didn't change. Automann's 564.54024 and AM56454024 are the same casting under their part numbering, and Newstar's HNR-52101E0A91 and S-26108 are their catalog listings for it.
The Kenworth T400 reference is worth a second look before you order — that's a different OEM but shares enough front-end architecture with the Hino cab-over line that some shops have used this bracket as a cross on certain builds. That's not a blanket fit, so don't order on that alone.
Bottom line on any of these numbers: match the bolt pattern and flange shape against your old bracket, or better yet, pull the number stamped or tagged on the original part before you order. Bumper reinforcements don't have a spline or bearing bore to worry about like a drive component, but the mounting hole spacing and flange angle absolutely need to match your chassis.
Ordering From PartStop
We stock this out of our Tacoma location and it goes out same-day if you order before our afternoon cutoff — a lot of our Hino customers are running regional routes up and down I-5 and can't afford a truck sitting for a bumper bracket. Nationwide shipping is standard on this one, no drama.
Every bracket we sell carries our 6+ month warranty, and if something doesn't line up we'll sort it out — just don't wait three months to tell us.
If you're not 100% sure this is your part, call the counter with your VIN or the old bracket's part number in hand. Takes two minutes and saves you a return shipment on a heavy steel part that's a pain to box back up.

Frequently asked questions
Does 52101E0A91 fit my Hino 268?
It's listed to fit the 238/258/268/338 series, but confirm with your VIN or the number off your old bracket first — there were some production running changes across model years and you don't want to find out after it's mounted.
Is this the same as the Automann 564.54024?
Same physical bracket, different catalog number — Automann cross-references this Hino part directly. Still worth checking your old part's mounting pattern against it before you order, especially if your truck's had prior collision repair.
Will this bolt up to my Kenworth T400?
Maybe, on certain builds, but it's not a straight factory cross like the Hino-to-Hino or Hino-to-Automann numbers are. Pull your old bracket and compare bolt spacing before you commit — better to ask us with photos than guess.
