Its distinctive narrow, butterfly-opening hood provided easier engine access for maintenance, a practical advantage for drivers covering long distances. Combined with its rugged inline diesel engines and hand-built quality, the 350 established a reputation for reliability and individuality that helped define Peterbilt’s legacy in the trucking industry.
