What You're Actually Buying
This is a two-piece deal — the guard itself (the grille of steel tubing that takes the hit) and the bracket kit that mounts it to the Cascadia's frame horns. Both pieces have to match or you're stuck rigging spacers, which nobody wants to do at 6am in a yard.
Cascadia front ends changed a few times over the model run — headlight shape, bumper contour, frame horn spacing all shifted. FIT033S33B is cut for a specific window of those changes, so this isn't a blind universal fit even though it's marketed as one kit number.
Steel construction, chrome finish. Heavier than the plastic aero bumpers Freightliner ships stock, so if you're chasing fuel economy over deer protection, that's a conversation to have before you order.
Why These Numbers Cross and Where They Don't
FIT-033S33 and 56499005 are the direct siblings to this kit — same guard geometry, same bracket bolt pattern, different label from a different point in the supply chain. Those two are safe bets once you've confirmed year fitment.
The 8.F10, 8.F14, 8.F20 and 564.99801 numbers are OE-side cross-references, and FIT-016AS33 shows up as a close cousin but isn't identical — it's an earlier or later bracket variant that shares the guard but not the mounting holes. Bracket kits are where guys get burned on this part, more than the guard itself.
Bottom line: pull the number off your old bracket or guard, or run your VIN, before you order. A deer guard that doesn't line up with your frame horns isn't a five-minute fix — it's drilling new holes in a truck you don't own outright, and that's a bad Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions
Does FIT033S33B fit my 2016 Cascadia?
Probably, but 2016 sits right in a transition window on Cascadia front ends — pull your bracket's stamped number or give us the VIN and we'll confirm before you buy. Cheaper than guessing on a $899 part.
Is this the same as the FIT-016AS33 kit?
Close, not identical. The guard tube is the same, but FIT-016AS33 uses a different bracket bolt pattern from a different model year run. If your old bracket carries that number, don't assume this kit swaps straight in — check hole spacing first.
Will this deer guard work with my stock bumper or do I need to pull it?
Depends on your Cascadia's bumper style — some years it mounts over the factory bumper, others need the bumper trimmed or set back. Bring in a photo of your front end or the old guard if you're replacing one, we'll tell you which setup you're working with.
