   NOTE 4 RECLASSIFICATIONS

   Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 condensed
   consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.

   NOTE 5 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

   On June 2, 1995, Freightliner Corporation acquired certain assets of the
   company's motor home, bus and van chassis business.  The consideration
   included cash of $23,815 and the assumption by Freightliner of certain
   liabilities.  The assets sold to Freightliner consisted of inventories,
   property, plant and equipment and the company's ownership interest in a
   Mexican chassis manufacturer.  The liabilities assumed by Freightliner
   included warranty obligations related to previously produced chassis and
   the industrial revenue bonds that were secured by the underlying real
   estate.

   The disposition of the chassis business has been accounted for as a
   discontinued operation and accordingly, prior periods' financial
   statements have been restated to reflect the chassis business as a
   discontinued operation for all periods presented.  Revenues of the chassis
   business for the three months ended December 31, 1994 were $16,891.

   Net assets or liabilities of the discontinued operation have been
   segregated in the consolidated balance sheets.  Details of such amounts
   were as follows:

   The company has allocated interest on the debt which was assumed by
   Freightliner to discontinued operations.  Interest expense included in
   discontinued operations totaled $253 for the three months ended December
   31, 1994.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

   Results of Operations
   For the Three Months Ended December 1995
   Compared to Three Months Ended December 1994

   Net income for the first quarter of the 1996 fiscal year was $1.6 million,
   or $.18 per share.  This compares to net income of $1.5 million, or $.17
   per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Net income in the first
   quarter of the 1995 fiscal year was reduced by a loss of $1.0 million
   related to discontinued operations for the company's U.S. and Mexico
   chassis businesses sold to Freightliner Corporation in June 1995.  Net
   shipments for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were $80.5 million,
   compared to $95.4 million a year ago.

   Defense shipments totaled $57.8 million, 5.5% less than the $61.1 million
   in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Commercial shipments were $22.7
   million in the first quarter of the 1996 fiscal year compared to $34.3
   million a year earlier.  Van trailer shipments declined by $8.1 million
   year-over-year as the trailer industry slowed down late in the 1995 fiscal
   year.  Virtually all of the company's revenues are derived from customer
   orders prior to commencing production.

   Gross profits were $11.5 million, or 14.2% of shipments in the first
   quarter of the 1996 fiscal year compared to $12.3 million, or 12.9% of
   shipments during the first quarter of the 1995 fiscal year.  The improved
   margins are consistent for defense and commercial shipments and are due to
   continued productivity improvements and material cost control.

   Operating expenses totaled $9.3 million in the current quarter compared to
   $8.5 million in the first quarter of the 1995 fiscal year, and compared to
   an average of $9.7 million per quarter during the 1995 fiscal year.  The
   1996 fiscal quarter includes $0.4 million in costs related to development,
   marketing and other administrative activities related to products destined
   for distribution through the company's alliance partner, Freightliner
   Corporation.

   Interest income and other, net improved to $0.4 million in the 1996 fiscal
   year first quarter compared to $0.2 million a year earlier attributable to
   the company's higher investable cash position in the 1996 year.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Working capital was $89.7 million at December 30, 1995, compared to $91.8
   million at September 30, 1995.  During the quarter, receivables decreased
   by $15.7 million to $41.7 million at December 30, 1995, in line with lower
   shipments.  Inventories increased by $6.4 million to $52.2 million in line
   with higher shipment volumes expected to occur in the second fiscal
   quarter, and accounts payable decreased by $9.1 million as a result of the
   company's normal operations shutdown during the holidays.

   The company's cash and cash equivalent position was $29.5 million at
   December 30, 1995.  Operations generated cash of $2.7 million, and
   collection of receivables related to the chassis sale generated an
   additional $3.1 million of cash.  Capital additions and increases in other
   assets during the quarter totaled $5.1 million, and relate primarily to
   entry into the rear discharge concrete mixer business.  This was offset by
   $2.0 million of cash received from the sale of property, plant and
   equipment, which relates primarily to the sale of the company jet. 
   Dividends and stock repurchases totaled $2.9 million resulting in an
   overall decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million in
   comparison to September 30, 1995.

   The company believes its internally generated cash flow, supplemented by
   progress payments when applicable, and the existing credit facilities will
   be adequate to meet working capital and other operating and capital
   requirements of the company in the foreseeable future.

   Backlog

   The backlog as of December 30, 1995 was $337 million compared to $350
   million at September 30, 1995.  Major United States Department of Defense
   trucks backlog consists of Palletized Load System (PLS) vehicles, Heavy
   Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTT), including the start of a HEMTT
   rebuild program, and Logistics Vehicle System (LVS) trucks. 

   Dividend

   The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.10875 per share
   for Class A common stock and $.125 per share for Class B common stock. 
   These dividends, unchanged from the previous rate, will be payable
   February 12, 1996, to shareholders of record as of February 5, 1996.

   Stock Buyback

   In July 1995, the company's board of directors authorized repurchase of up
   to 1,000,000 shares of Class B common stock.  As of January 29, 1996, the
   company has purchased 215,900 shares under this program at a cost of $3.1
   million, or $14.23 per share.

   Alliance

   Implementation of the Strategic Alliance with Freightliner Corporation
   continued in the first quarter.  The company signed a Distribution
   Agreement with Freightliner Corporation on December 13, 1995, under which
   seven models of  Oshkosh construction, refuse and other heavy duty trucks
   will be sold through Freightliner dealers.  Sales activity has already
   begun and it is anticipated that delivery will begin by the third quarter
   of the current fiscal year.  Significant incremental volumes are not
   expected to be achieved during the 1996 fiscal year.  The company expects
   to spend up to $1.0 million in the current fiscal year related to new
   product and market development related to products to be distributed
   through Freightliner dealers, and other associated administrative
   activities.

   Freightliner Corporation was recently awarded a $49.5 million defense
   contract for 269 U.S. Army M916 and M917 series of trucks.  Options for
   additional vehicles over the next five years could bring total production
   to 1,000 trucks.  The company is currently working with Freightliner to
   novate the U.S. Army M916 and M917 contract to Oshkosh, production of
   which is anticipated to begin in Oshkosh in the fourth quarter of the 1996
   fiscal year.

   Forward Looking Information

   The company believes that full year revenues will be comparable to the
   1995 fiscal year, even though the first quarter is lower.  Delays in the
   production schedule for the defense business or the failure of commercial
   sales to reach the company's expectations would have an adverse effect on
   fiscal 1996 revenues.  Results of continuing operations for the remainder
   of fiscal 1996 should continue to show improvements over the first quarter
   results, assuming projected full year revenues are attained.

   The company expects sales to the U.S. Government in fiscal 1996 to
   approximate the fiscal 1995 level.  The PLS contract will remain in
   production through November 1996, and additional funding is expected. 
   Additional defense orders could increase the current rate of production or
   extend the period of production.  The company remains optimistic about its
   defense business prospects and its ability to sustain a reasonable level
   of business into the future.  Insufficient defense budget funding by the
   U.S. Congress or the failure of the U.S. Government to seek to purchase
   the company's products in the future at the level the company now
   anticipates would have an adverse effect on future defense business.

   The company is dependent on its shipments of defense products to the U.S.
   Government as evidenced by shipments of 60% and 73% of total shipments
   during fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Substantial decreases in the
   company's level of defense business from the current level could have an
   adverse effect on the company's profitability. The expected effect of any
   decline in defense shipments on operations is that profitability could be
   negatively impacted if the company were not to take corresponding measures
   to decrease operating expenses.  The impact of a decline in defense
   shipments on the liquidity of the company would be to improve liquidity
   due to the reduction of working capital previously required in support of
   this business.
