[SCR] Peterbilt 350

Description
Description:
The Peterbilt 350 can be considered the precursor to all of the long nose conventionals that followed it. Its swooping fenders, bolted radiator shell and imposing 130" bumper to back of cab dimension made it a truly majestic king of the highway. It was introduced in 1949 and produced through 1957, with 847 units produced (as well as 387 units of the single axle model 280), overlapping the more familiar and prolific lightweight model 351.

I've taken a couple of liberties in this recreation: the single axle model 280 is treated as just a chassis variation, and I've limited the transmission selection to those that will work well with the game's limitations (the model 350 primarily used compound transmissions which aren't properly supported in ATS).

Helpful Hints:
Pay careful attention when configuring the chassis, engine, and transmission. The standard chassis use double reduction rear axles (Rockwell SLDD) and so only slow ratios are available (4.68 to 5.90). This is best suited to the more 'vintage' engine selections (H and early NH engines) by trading off speed for more torque at the wheels. There are also chassis with Stabilaire suspension and SQHD rears (ratios 3.70 to 4.63) which pair well with more recent engines.

Also bear in mind that not all exhaust configurations will be available with all tank configurations. If you're not finding what you want, try a rear-mounted tank. ;)

I know, but tons did, and I haven’t seen a single one in ATS yet.

not all the trucks had them

One thing I haven’t seen on any vintage trucks yet are flapper exhaust stacks. Do any have them? They’re the coolest ones. This one especially should have them, yeah?

Ah I see, yes not many were made <1 thousand units manufactured I think, very cool unique look though!

I"m a truck driver irl and hadn't heard of the 350 coe because it was short lived. I know the 352 ans 362 better

The Peterbilt 350 was Peterbilt’s first cabover model. During the 1950s stringent regulations limited the length that a truck and trailer could be. Due to this, the COE or Cab-Over Engine, became a popular choice because it maximized payload capacities. It also allowed drivers a clearer view of the road ahead and provided greater maneuverability. However, with the engine being directly underneath the cab, a long journey could often get noisy and uncomfortable. The engine could also be difficult to get into. The hood pops up and the fenders swing outward to allow engine access, but it was still very cramped. Later, truck manufacturers would develop tilt-cabs to make maintenance easier. Cab-over style trucks began to fall out of favor in the late 1970s when length regulations increased. The Peterbilt 350s were only produced between 1950 and 1956, so this may be one of the last 350s ever built before the introduction of the 351 model.

3000 hours on ATS Red Wolf and you didn't even know about the COE :D yes there was, there's even a mod for ATS for one but it's not very well done and I think very outdated. Thanks so much Smarty! Is the 351 the same? :peterbilt.351_scr ?

There totally was a 350 COE. There was even a short-lived 351 COE. For now, I'm working my way through the little window conventionals.

drebin, there was never a 350 cabover. there was a 352 qnd a 362 from Peterbilt
