   1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
   prepared by 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.

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

   3. 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 8,645,106 and 8,932,732, respectively, for the three month
   periods ended December 31, 1996 and December 30, 1995.  Stock options,
   warrants and stock issuable under incentive compensation awards were not
   dilutive in any of the periods presented.

   4.  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 three months ended December 31, 1996.  As of
   December 31, 1996, the company has repurchased 461,535 shares under this
   program at a total cost of $6.6 million.

   5.  LONG-TERM DEBT

   At December 31, 1996, $5.3 million of letters of credit reduced available
   capacity under the company's revolving credit facility to $44.7 million.

   6.  CONTINGENCIES

   The company is engaged in litigation against Super Steel Products
   Corporation (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 has guaranteed certain customers' obligations under deferred
   payment contracts and lease purchase agreements totaling $6.2 million at
   December 31, 1996.  Pierce and the company also are contingently liable
   under bid and performance bonds totaling approximately $83 million at
   December 31, 1996.


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

   Results of Operations

   First Quarter 1997 Compared to 1996

   Oshkosh Truck Corporation (the company) reported net income of $1.6
   million, or $0.19 per share, on sales of $150.3 million for the first
   quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.18
   per share, on sales of $80.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

   Sales of both commercial and defense products increased in the first
   quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
   Commercial sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $60.5
   million or 265.9% from the first quarter of fiscal 1996 to $83.2 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, and increased sales of refuse vehicles.  Sales of
   defense products totaled $67.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal
   1997, an increase of $9.4 million or 16.4% as compared to the first
   quarter of fiscal 1996.  The increase in defense sales principally results
   from sales of Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTTs) to a
   foreign government.

   Gross income in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 totaled $18.9 million or
   12.5% of sales compared to $10.6 million or 13.2% of sales in the first
   quarter of fiscal 1996.  The increase in gross income in the first quarter
   of fiscal 1997 was due to increased volume as a result of the acquisition
   of Pierce.  Fiscal 1997 first quarter margins were adversely affected by
   increased warranty and other costs related to refuse vehicle sales.

   Operating expenses totaled $12.4 million or 8.3% of sales in the first
   quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $8.4 million or 10.5% of sales in the
   first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The increase in operating expenses in the
   first 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.  The ratio of operating expenses to sales
   declined in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 1996 due to
   operating efficiencies resulting from the combination of Pierce and the
   company.

   Interest expense increased to $3.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal
   1997 compared to $0.1 million in the first 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 first quarter of fiscal 1997 was 47.1% compared to 38.5% for the
   first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The effective income tax rate for the first
   quarter of fiscal 1997 was adversely affected by non-deductible goodwill
   of $0.6 million.

   Financial Condition

   First Quarter 1997

   During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, cash increased $4.7 million. 
   Cash provided from operations of $25.1 million exceeded cash requirements
   for the repayment of long-term debt of $17.9 million, capital additions of
   $1.3 million, and dividends of $1.1 million.

   First Quarter 1996

   During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, cash decreased $0.2 million.  The
   acquisition of Friesz Manufacturing Company for $3.9 million, capital
   additions of $1.1 million, stock repurchases of $1.8 million, and
   dividends of $1.1 million, were funded principally from cash provided from
   operations of $3.1 million, $2.0 million of cash received from the sale of
   property, plant, and equipment, and cash provided from discontinued
   operations of $3.1 million.

   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 December 31, 1996, $5.3 million of letters of credit reduced available
   capacity under the company's revolving credit facility to $44.7 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 December 31, 1996 was $398 million, compared
   to $337 million at December 30, 1995.  The backlog at December 31, 1996
   includes $225 million with respect to U.S. Government contracts, $122
   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.

   Stock Buyback

   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 quarter of fiscal 1997.  As of January 28, 1997,
   the company has repurchased 461,535 shares under this program at a cost of
   $6.6 million.
