What You're Actually Buying
This is the bracket, not the whole grille guard assembly. It's the steel piece that ties the deer guard frame to the truck's front frame rails/bumper mounts on the Cascadia. Freightliner ran this same bracket design across the 2018-2024 Cascadia lineup, day cab and sleeper, since the frame mounting points didn't change much through that run.
Where guys get tripped up is thinking any deer guard bracket off a Cascadia will work. Freightliner made small revisions to the mounting geometry a couple times in this window - hole spacing, gusset placement - so a bracket pulled off a 2019 truck might not sit right on a 2023 without some persuasion. Same part number should mean same bracket, but confirm before you order.
We sell these as a direct replacement piece. Steel, made to bolt where the factory one did, not a redesign or an upgrade - just a solid replacement for one that's rusted through or got tweaked.
Reading the Cross-Reference Numbers
The numbers in the table - 8.F10, 8.F14, 8.F20, 564.99801, FIT-016AS33 - all trace back to the same bracket design across different catalog systems. Some of those are Freightliner's own internal parts book numbers from different production years, others are how the aftermarket suppliers file the same casting under their own indexing.
These cross because the bracket itself didn't change - same hole pattern, same thickness, same mounting angle to the frame. What can throw a wrench in it is if your truck has an aftermarket deer guard already installed instead of a factory setup. Aftermarket guards sometimes use their own bracket kits that only look similar, and 56499005 won't line up with those.
Surest way to confirm before you buy: pull the number off your old bracket if it's still legible, or run your VIN and check the parts diagram. If the old part's numbers are gone (happens a lot with rusted brackets), match up bolt spacing and bracket shape against the picture we've got listed.
Ordering From PartStop
We're in Tacoma and keep this one in stock for same-day pickup or local delivery if you're running trucks around the Puget Sound area. Order it in the morning, it's usually ready before your driver's done his pre-trip.
Ship nationwide too, no drama there - it's a bracket, not fragile, packs up fine in a standard box. Comes with our 6+ month warranty, so if it's not right or fails early, we sort it out.
At $400, it's not cheap for a bracket, but factory deer guard hardware for the Cascadia runs into money regardless of where you buy it. Give us a call with your VIN if you want us to double check fitment before it ships - saves everybody a return shipping headache.

Frequently asked questions
Does 56499005 fit my 2022 Cascadia day cab?
Likely yes, this bracket covers 2018-2024 Cascadias, day cab and sleeper. Still confirm with your VIN or the number stamped on your old bracket before ordering, since there were minor frame mounting revisions in that span.
Is this the same bracket as the 564.99801 cross-reference?
Same physical bracket, different catalog number - 564.99801 is just how another parts system lists it. It should interchange, but if you've got that number off your truck, mention it when you order so we can double-check against 56499005.
My deer guard bracket has no visible part number left, how do I know this is the right one?
Rust eats those stampings fast. Compare bolt hole spacing and the bracket's bend angle against our listing photo, or better yet, send us a picture of what's left on the truck and we'll match it up before you buy.
Not sure it fits? We check before you pay.
Run your VIN and we’ll match parts to your exact truck, or call the counter — a person who knows trucks verifies fitment by OEM number before the order ships. No wrong-box returns.
