Peterbilt 282/352

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Model 282/352 was Peterbilt's cab-over-engine truck from 1959, replacing the 281/351 COE. It looked much like the model it replaced, apart from quad headlamps, but it brought a major change: a tilting cab that gave better access to the engine. In 1969 a revision of the cab design led the 282/352 to adopt the name Pacemaker. The Madison, Tennessee plant first built this model alone, and in 1975 it was revised as the 352H with a high-mounted cab to take larger engines. The Model 362 replaced it in 1981 as the first completely new Peterbilt COE in 22 years.
