The Model 346 was a 6x6 Peterbilt designed in 1972 for the same kinds of off-road and construction work as the slightly larger Model 383. Its distinguishing feature was a set-back front axle placed nearly below the cab. It came in the same year that Peterbilt replaced the Unilite cab on its conventionals with the 1100-series cab, named for the 1100 square inches of windshield glass. The source article gives no end date for the 346, so only its introduction is recorded.
