-> Peterbilt 270 Unlike the other ones listed on this site, this truck is one of the earlier Pre-War variants of this truck. (Around 1941 or 1942) Note the different bumper design, and the large welded plate below the grill. This truck is a single axle tractor and not a tandem tractor, so it's not a Peterbilt 344. 1942 Peterbilt 270 on display at the Iowa 80: ![]() |
