The Model 280/350 was the second generation of Peterbilt trucks, released in 1949 to replace the 260/334. The conventional version was known as the Iron Nose, recognisable by a tall, narrow grille with vertical grille shutters and cycle-style fenders, a fender design that some Peterbilt conventionals still use today. The cab-over-engine version, the Bubble Nose, was the first COE Peterbilt built in volume and moved the cab of the conventional above the front axle while keeping a short hood. In 1954 the line was redesigned as the Model 281/351 needle-nose.
