The Model 348 was introduced by Peterbilt in 1970 for vocational use and gradually replaced the 341, which stayed in the range until 1972. It was the first Peterbilt designed with an angled fiberglass hood, and the 349 was a similar truck fitted with a larger grille. In 1980 a lighter-weight highway tractor, the 349H, joined the family with a straight hood, the first Peterbilt highway truck with a sloped nose. In 1986 Peterbilt revised its vocational lineup and the 378 replaced the 348/349. A later medium-duty Peterbilt 348 was introduced in 2009 and is recorded separately.
