What This Badge Is And Where It Goes
This is the oval emblem that mounts on the hood or grille shell - red background, chrome ring, Peterbilt script. Nothing structural, no wiring, just a trim piece held on with clips or adhesive backing depending on the year truck you've got.
Common on the classic long-hood Petes, but Peterbilt used a few variations on this emblem over the years - different mounting styles, slightly different sizing between hood-mount and grille-mount versions. That's why matching the number matters more than matching the picture.
If yours is cracked from a rock or just sun-baked and chalky after fifteen years outside, this is a straight bolt-on-or-stick-on swap, not a project.
Why These Numbers Cross And What To Check Before You Order
N53-6028 and N53-6028-1 are the same emblem family - the -1 usually just denotes a running production change or packaging update, not a different part physically. 01-13100 is the same badge under a different supplier's catalog number, which is normal in this industry - one factory stamps these out and three or four box labels get slapped on.
What actually varies between Peterbilt emblems isn't the artwork, it's the mounting method and overall dimensions - some are stud-mount through the hood skin, some are adhesive-backed for surface mount. Measure your old emblem or pull it and check the back before ordering, because a hood-mount unit won't work if your truck take a grille-mount style.
Rule of thumb here: peg the number off the old emblem itself, or run your VIN by us. We'd rather spend two minutes confirming than have you shipping it back.

Frequently asked questions
Does N53-6028 fit my Peterbilt 379?
Likely, but Peterbilt changed emblem mounting across production years, so confirm by pulling the old emblem and checking the number stamped or printed on the back, or give us the VIN and we'll cross it for you.
Is 01-13100 the same as the Peterbilt N53-6028?
They cross-reference to the same emblem - different supplier catalog number, same physical part as far as our records show. Still worth confirming against your old badge before ordering since Peterbilt ran more than one version of this emblem over the years.
Mine is stuck on with adhesive, will this one work the same way?
Depends which version you've got - some of these are adhesive-backed, some are stud-mount through the hood. Check the back of your old emblem before ordering, or call us with what you're seeing and we'll match it up.
