Peterbilt 341

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Model 341 was a shorter-hood, heavier-duty Peterbilt built for vocational work, offered from the 1954 revision of the line that produced the Model 281/351 needle-nose conventional. In 1970 the Model 348 was introduced and gradually replaced it, and the 341 remained in the range until 1972. The Model 353 of 1973 then took over from the 341 as the construction-oriented truck. It belongs to the middle of the 1950s, when Peterbilt was still based in Oakland, California and was sold in 1958 to Pacific Car and Foundry.
