Hello everyone, I am looking for AIRPLANE CRASH FIRE FIGHTING MANUAL WAR DEPT. TECHNICAL MANUAL TM5-316 any help would be greatly appreciated

I called a friend at Oshkosh and gave him the serial number and he gave me the date.

December 1952 is when the truck rolled off the assembly line.

Maxville Truck please send me an email. mr.oshkosh@hotmail.com

I will post a brochure about the truck in the coming days.

BC the vehicle is called an (FMTV) Family Of Medium Tactical Vehicles! Oshkosh has been building these trucks for a few years now! Here is a link for the truck! http://www.oshkoshdefense.com/products/4/fmtv Tim

I was hoping to make it up there but is does not look like it is going to happen this year. Does anyone have pictures of previous years they would like to share? Thanks,

Mark, That is a tough one, man I we we could have saved the old girl but understand decisions need to be made.

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...
