Edward,

I did a quick Google search, and couldn't find any reference to Peterbilt manufacturing military trucks during WWII. Here's an extract that summarizes what I came up with:

"When World War II broke out, Peterbilt never manufactured combat vehicles, instead fulfilled government contracts for heavy duty trucks."

Taken from "The Class A Truck Stop: History of the Peterbilt" (http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/1608/pete.htm)

Now if Peterbilt did manufacture military trucks, I might be able to find some info about it in my Boniface & Jeudy book this weekend. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Cheers!

Charby
