#Oshkosh
Oshkosh city was named after a chief of the North American Red Indian Menominee Tribe - Mamaceqtaw - people, in whose language the name means The Claw.Besides the legendary Oshkosh motor trucks the city of Oshkosh is also famous for it’s aeroplane-aircraft air shows 
Oshkosh Motor Truck Corporation,Oshkosh,Wisconsin,United States Of America.
Oshkosh was founded in 1917…so 2017 is the 100th Anniversary of Oshkosh Motor Trucks 
Congratulations to Oshkosh! 
Oshkosh was one of the pioneers of four-wheel-drive motor trucks-lorries.And four-wheel-drive - 4x4 - and 6x6 motor vehicles and other
multi-drive models,such as 8x8,have always featured prominently in their motor vehicle models range throughout the decades.
Oshkosh have usually built specialist motor vehicles:snow ploughs-snow-blowers, oilfield motor trucks, concrete mixers, military vehicles, fire engines, dump trucks, heavy haulage ballast diesel road locomotives,etc.
I’ve been a fan of Oshkosh motor vehicles for a long time …and Oshkosh have always made some of my SRIBSMVS 
I hope Oshkosh continue to design and produce specialist motor vehicles and other motor vehicles forevermore

Errr what kind of pies are on offer.
O.M.G. it’s an Orange, but can anybody remember seeing an Egg driving about in 60/70’s. It might of been an egg shaped mini van with the slogan ‘Go To Work On An Egg’.
Oversize Transport.
Bedford 'O ’ Model. We had 6 'O 'models in our fleet. This one an OB (Passenger chassis) which stupidly my dad & grandfather had fitted with a standard cab instead have spending the extra and having an integral pantechnicon built. Registered in 1948 JUP was also in error painted the wrong colour by the body builders (Youngs Ford dealers at their Sunderland body shop) Our orriginal colours were stone & brown but in 1935 my dad then 14 got them changed to cream & brown, & my Grandfather who was colour blind got it painted Stone & brown in error
The engine side cover is removed as they appear to be dipping the oil & checking the battery which was located under the passenger seat I seem to remember
Orriginally JUP was built with a straight through floor which proved high at the rear, Ramps hadn’t been thought of those days so in about 1952 it had a major refit with the body dropped & whee boxes put in. Dad wanted a drop well but this was going to be too expensive. The luton which was dropping due to Young’s poor body building was re enforced and it was re painted cream & brown. It looked a nice van then I remember. Our last Bedford again an OB (LPT 1950 reg) was replaced by a SB in 1961
The Bedford ‘OB’ was the first passenger chassis that became very popular for pantechnicon bodies because of the chassis length & led the way for the massively popular SB

The Leyland Cub was owned by Henderson’s of Alston, so maybe the ■■■■■■■ contingent could suggest an answer, they might just stumble upon the location when they’re out and about scouring the countryside for barns with Guy Big J’s with Gardner 8LXBs.
