Peterbilt Model 260
Peterbilt's first truck under the name established the premium conventional truck concept in America — high-quality aluminium components, a wide sleeper cab, and the driver-first engineering philosophy that distinguishes Peterbilt from volume-market competitors. T.A. Peterman designed trucks he would be proud to drive himself.
