Thank you for the welcomes, I agree about knowing the history. Oshkosh has a very long history of buidling very solid trucks. Hard to believe come 2017 Oshkosh will have been around 100 years!

Clarence is the best. He turns 92 next moth. I will be in oshkosh in two weeks as a surprise visit to see him. At 92 he is still sharp as a tack. I am so very blessed to have him in my life. To sad on the model, some people do not have a clue. I am talking with a few people trying to talk them...

old factory picture This is what the entrance looked like back in the day of Oshkosh Truck. The factory was built in 1920 and the first truck rolled out in January 1921!

hopefully it works.

thanks for the information, I will have to do that. Tim

Thank you for the reply and I will try my best. I will admit that there is very knowledgeable individuals on this site. You can learn more about me by doing a google search for Tim Wright and Oshkosh Truck.

I stopped by the 183rd fire station today in Springfield, IL. The unit is being disbanded at the end of September since the flying mission is done in Springfield. Sad to see the unit shut down.

If the trucks do make it to auction I might be just try and pick one up.

The third picture is the WT-2206 What an awesome truck!

The HEMTT is one awesome truck and has become the work horse for all the military branches that use Oshkosh's. Oshkosh years ago used the slogan "Goes Anywhere the wheels touch the ground" Still very ture today! Thanks for the posting!

the first picture is my 1937 FC model, the second is my 1952 W-712 and the third is myself, my son Austin with Clarence Jungwirth during an Oshkosh Truck visit!

I am looking forward to your pictures of your wt2206. They are awesome trucks built to last. I have tons of pictures to post! Thanks

Stuart sweet! My son loves the MATV and the HET! Oshkosh does build some mean trucks! Thanks for posting! Tim

Karl, how cool ! Any pictures of the trucks and the action? Two years ago one of our blowers tried to eat five sets of 757 wheel chocks! Cost us almost $6,000 to fix the blower.

This is my 1925 Model H Oshkosh.

I was just in oshkosh for EAA Air Venture, I spent 13 days there. I was up there to when the guy went off on the postal worker. I was across the street from the house in Oshkosh's headquarters when it all went down!

Karl , Thanks for the respnse and the story. Those Oshkosh's are monsters when it comes to plowingand blowing snow. I am the operations manager at the airport and everyone once in awhile I have to jump in one of the Oshkosh just to get in the way of the true professionals pushing all that snow...

I am sure there is some old Oshkosh in Michigan, I hope next year to drive the countryside of Michigan trying to locate some of those old beauties! I passed on a job offer back in December as the Fire Chief for the Grand Rapids International Airport.

I am an Aficionado and Historian of Oshkosh Truck. I have memorabilia that dates back to the humble beginnings of Oshkosh Truck. With over 6,000 items I would say the most priceless piece is a set of blue prints for the original factory built in March 1920. Oshkosh moved into the current...
