The OSHKOSH
The Truck of Trucks
What all other Trucks want to be
|
I thought it was worth sharing. "My Dad grew up in Wisconsin and always said that Oshkosh Trucks were so tough, even way back then, he was born in 1930, passed away in 1999. He used to say they could out perform most others in the adverse (SNOW) conditions of Wisconsin and if you saw one they would always say " My Gosh It Must Be An Oshkosh!" Mike Hodgden

| Silent Hoist Cranes were built in Brooklyn, New York. The Q 40 crane had a 20 ton rating. The company, Guaranteed Motors Towing, New Brunswick, New Jersey who was also an Oshkosh dealer for may years installed a new style cab on that chassis. They ran it for many years and then sold it to Highpoint Garage in Union City New Jersey. They ran it for many years and then sold it to Nelcon Service Center In North Haven, Ct where it remains today. |

| This has to be the very cleanest 1960
Oshkosh you will ever find in the world. This was owned by Logan
Garage in New Jersey and upon buying this they installed a brand new Mack
cab and front end on this 1960 Oshkosh chassis. The truck is registered
as a 1960 Oshkosh however it sports a Mack Cab and Nose.
This is owned by my close and personal friends of over 30 years Plunskes Garage in Wallngford, Ct. |

| This truck was owned by Guaranteed
Motors of New Brunswick, New Jersey. This one still had the factory gas
engine and the new style cab has an updated. It hada Cat Diesel in
it. This gas job one Pete DiGiovanni preferred better over the new style
cab with the diesel. Pete DiGiovanni was the owner of Guaranteed Motors
along with his Brother Mark. Pete is also a very close friend of Danny's.

| This truck is owned by Larry Robley.
His son submitted this picture and had the following to say about the truck. "We got it from the town of Showlow, Arizona for a little over two thousand dollars. It is a work in progress as it needs paint but it runs great and moves snow like it's supposed to do." |

Garage Find
| Brad Pearson, Adams Wis. submitted the folowing pictures of
a 1948 Oshkosh WT2206
that he found in a garage in Baldwin Wis. His problem now is to get it home. Since it is no longer a county truck, ya just can't haul a 12ft. wide plow down the road. |
