Peterbilt 364

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Model 364 was a heavier-duty Peterbilt truck created for 1941. It was first developed for the logging industry, the trade out of which Peterbilt itself had grown, and it was then re-purposed for military production during the Second World War. It sits in the early run of Peterbilt numbering that followed the 1939 launch of the Model 260 and Model 334, when the company was still a small builder in Oakland, California. The source article says nothing further about the truck, so its production span, engine and replacement are not recorded here.
