                            OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

   1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
   prepared by Oshkosh Truck Corporation (the company) without audit. 
   However, the foregoing statements contain all adjustments (consisting only
   of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of company
   management, necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated
   financial statements.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the
   1996 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1997
   presentation.

   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
   financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules
   and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  It is
   suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
   conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
   included in the company's 1996 annual report to shareholders.

   2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

   Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
   average number of shares outstanding.  The average number of shares
   outstanding was 8,645,193 and 8,871,816, respectively, for the three month
   periods and 8,645,149 and 8,902,703, respectively, for the six month
   periods ended March 31, 1997 and March 30, 1996.  Stock options, warrants
   and stock issuable under incentive compensation awards were not dilutive
   in any of the periods presented.

   3. INVENTORIES

   Inventories consist of the following:

   Title to all inventories related to government contracts which provide for
   progress payments vests in the government to the extent of unliquidated
   progress payments.

   4. LONG-TERM DEBT

   At March 31, 1997, $13.5 million of borrowings and $5.6 million of letters
   of credit reduced available capacity under the company's revolving credit
   facility to $30.9 million.

   5. STOCK BUY BACK

   In July 1995, the company's board of directors authorized the repurchase
   of up to 1,000,000 shares of Class B common stock.  There were no stock
   repurchases during the six months ended March 31, 1997.  As of March 31,
   1997 and May 5, 1997, the company has repurchased 461,535 shares under
   this program at a total cost of $6.6 million.  The repurchase of 350,000
   shares of Class B common stock from Freightliner Corporation
   (Freightliner) on May 2, 1997 (see Note 7) does not impact the number of
   shares available for repurchase under this program.

   6. CONTINGENCIES

   The company is engaged in litigation against Super Steel Products Corp.
   (SSPC), the company's former supplier of mixer systems for front discharge
   concrete mixer trucks under a long-term supply contract.  SSPC sued the
   company in state court claiming the company breached the contract.  The
   company counterclaimed for repudiation of contract.  On July 26, 1996, a
   jury returned a verdict for SSPC awarding damages totaling approximately
   $4.5 million.  On October 10, 1996, the state court judge overturned the
   verdict against the company, granted judgment for the company on its
   counterclaim, and ordered a new trial for damages on the company's
   counterclaim.  Both SSPC and the company have appealed the state court
   judge's decision.  The Wisconsin Court of Appeals has agreed to hear the
   case.

   Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (Pierce), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
   company, has guaranteed certain customers' obligations under deferred
   payment contracts and lease purchase agreements totaling $8.5 million at
   March 31, 1997.  Pierce and the company also are contingently liable under
   bid and performance bonds totaling approximately $107 million at March 31,
   1997.

   7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   On May 2, 1997, the company and Freightliner agreed to a formal
   termination of the Strategic Alliance formed on June 2, 1995.  The company
   repurchased from Freightliner 350,000 shares of its Class B common stock
   and 1,250,000 warrants for the purchase of additional shares of Class B
   common stock for the total sum of $6.8 million.  The company and
   Freightliner will continue to supply each other with parts and components.

                        Oshkosh Truck Corporation
           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated
              Financial Condition and Results of Operations

   Results of Operations

   Second Quarter 1997 Compared to 1996

   Oshkosh Truck Corporation (the company) reported net income of $2.5
   million, or $0.28 per share, on sales of $170.5 million for the second
   quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.25
   per share, on sales of $103.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal
   1996. 

   Sales of both commercial and defense products increased in the second
   quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
   Commercial sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $60.2
   million or 128.4% from the second quarter of fiscal 1996 to $107.0 million
   principally due to sales of fire trucks and other fire apparatus as a
   result of the acquisition of Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (Pierce) on
   September 18, 1996.  Sales of construction, airport rescue and fire
   fighting (ARFF), and refuse vehicles also increased during the quarter. 
   Sales of defense products totaled $63.5 million in the first quarter of
   fiscal 1997, an increase of $7.2 million or 12.8% as compared to the
   second quarter of fiscal 1996.  The increase in defense sales principally
   resulted from the sale of ISO-Compatible Palletized Flatracks (IPF) which
   are being produced by Steeltech Manufacturing, Inc. (Steeltech) under a
   subcontract from the company.

   Gross income in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 totaled $22.9 million or
   13.4% of sales compared to $12.8 million or 12.4% of sales in the second
   quarter of fiscal 1996.  The increase in gross income in the second
   quarter of fiscal 1997 was principally due to increased sales volume as a
   result of the acquisition of Pierce and in the company's other product
   lines.

   Operating expenses totaled $15.5 million or 9.1% of sales in the second
   quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $9.5 million or 9.3% of sales in the
   second quarter of fiscal 1996.  The increase in operating expenses in the
   second quarter of fiscal 1997 relates principally to the operating
   expenses of Pierce and amortization of goodwill and other intangibles
   associated with the acquisition of Pierce.

   Interest expense increased to $3.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal
   1997 compared to $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 due to
   borrowings to finance the acquisition of Pierce.

   The effective income tax rate for combined federal and state income taxes
   for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was 42.7% compared to 35.0% for the
   second quarter of fiscal 1996.  The effective income tax rate for the
   second quarter of fiscal 1997 was adversely affected by non-deductible
   goodwill of $0.6 million.

   First Six Months 1997 Compared to 1996

   The company reported net income of $4.1 million, or $0.47 per share, on
   sales of $320.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 1997, compared
   to net income of $3.8 million, or $0.43 per share, on sales of $183.5
   million for the first six months of fiscal 1996.

   Sales of both commercial and defense products increased in the first six
   months of fiscal 1997 compared to the first six months of fiscal 1996. 
   Commercial sales in the first six months of fiscal 1997 increased $120.6
   million or 173.3% from the first six months of fiscal 1996 to $190.2
   million principally due to sales of fire trucks and other fire apparatus
   as a result of the acquisition of Pierce, and increased sales of refuse
   vehicles.  Sales of defense products totaled $130.6 million in the first
   six months of fiscal 1997, an increase of $16.7 million or 14.7% as
   compared to the first six months of fiscal 1996.  The increase in defense
   sales principally resulted from sales of Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical
   Trucks (HEMTTs) to a foreign government and from the sale of IPFs to the
   U.S. Government.

   Gross income in the first six months of fiscal 1997 totaled $42.5 million
   or 13.2% of sales compared to $23.4 million or 12.7% of sales in the first
   six months of fiscal 1996.  The increase in gross income in the first six
   months of fiscal 1997 was principally due to increased sales volume as a
   result of the acquisition of Pierce.

   Operating expenses totaled $28.6 million or 8.9% of sales in the first six
   months of fiscal 1997 compared to $18.0 million or 9.8% of sales in the
   first six months of fiscal 1996.  The increase in operating expenses in
   the first six months of fiscal 1997 relates principally to the operating
   expenses of Pierce and amortization of goodwill and other intangibles
   associated with the acquisition of Pierce.  The ratio of operating
   expenses to sales declined in the first six months of fiscal 1997 compared
   to 1996 due to operating efficiencies resulting from the combination of
   Pierce and the company.

   Interest expense increased to $6.7 million in the first six months of
   fiscal 1997 compared to $0.1 million in the first six months of fiscal
   1996 due to borrowings to finance the acquisition of Pierce.

   The effective income tax rate for combined federal and state income taxes
   for the first six months of fiscal 1997 was 44.6% compared to 36.5% for
   the first six months of fiscal 1996.  The effective income tax rate for
   the first six months of fiscal 1997 was adversely affected by non-
   deductible goodwill of $1.3 million.

   Financial Condition

   First Six Months 1997

   During the first six months of fiscal 1997, cash remained virtually
   unchanged.  Cash provided from operations of $14.8 million was used to
   fund the repayment of long-term debt of $9.4 million, capital additions of
   $2.9 million, and dividends of $2.1 million.

   First Six Months 1996

   During the first six months of fiscal 1996, cash decreased $11.5 million. 
   Cash was required for operations of $5.6 million, principally to fund an
   increase in inventories, for the acquisition of Friesz Manufacturing
   Company of $3.9 million, for capital additions of $2.9 million, for stock
   repurchases of $2.0 million and for dividends of $2.2 million. 
   Discontinued operations and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and
   equipment provided cash of $4.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively,
   for the first six months of fiscal 1996.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The company's principal uses of cash for the next several years will be
   interest and principal payments on long-term debt, capital expenditures
   and potential acquisitions.

   At March 31, 1997, $13.5 million of borrowings and $5.6 million of letters
   of credit reduced available capacity under the company's revolving credit
   facility to $30.9 million.

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

   Backlog

   The company's backlog as of March 31, 1997 was $390 million, compared to
   $304 million at March 30, 1996.  The backlog at March 31, 1997 includes
   $222 million with respect to U.S. Government contracts, $129 million
   related to Pierce, and the remainder relates to other commercial products. 
   Virtually all the company's revenues are derived from customer orders
   prior to commencing production.

   In July 1995, the company's board of directors authorized the repurchase
   of up to 1,000,000 shares of Class B common stock.  There were no stock
   repurchases in the first six months of fiscal 1997.  As of March 31, 1997
   and May 5, 1997, the company has repurchased 461,535 shares under this
   program at a cost of $6.6 million.  The repurchase of 350,000 shares of
   Class B common stock from Freightliner Corporation (Freightliner) on May
   2, 1997 (see below) does not impact the number of shares available for
   repurchase under this program.

   Strategic Alliance

   On May 2, 1997, the company and Freightliner agreed to a formal
   termination of the Strategic Alliance formed on June 2, 1995.  The company
   repurchased from Freightliner 350,000 shares of Class B common stock and
   1,250,000 warrants for the purchase of additional shares of Class B common
   stock for the total sum of $6.8 million.  The company and Freightliner
   will continue to supply each other with parts and components.

   New Accounting Standard

   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
   Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which is required to be adopted
   effective for both interim and annual financial statements for periods
   ending after December 15, 1997.  Among other provisions, the dilutive
   effect of stock options must be excluded under the new requirements for
   calculating basic earnings per share, which will replace primary earnings
   per share.  This change is not expected to materially impact the company's
   fully diluted earnings per share calculations.
