The Model 383 was a 6x6 truck built primarily for off-road construction use. Peterbilt brought it out in 1966, when the company widened its range beyond highway tractors and reintroduced heavy-duty trucks, placing the 383 above the Model 341. The Model 346 of 1972 was designed for the same applications as this slightly smaller sibling. Peterbilt discontinued the 383 in 1980, and its work was largely taken over by the smaller 353 and 387. It belongs to the group of heavy vocational Peterbilts that also includes the 346, 353, 387 and 397.
