As time goes by and modernization takes place all good things must come to an end. New upgrades in designs, styling, comfort and technology take the place of the luxuries we’ve already become accustomed to.

Replacing the 352, 282 and 352H will be the newly designed and innovative 1981 Peterbilt 362.
