             Oshkosh Truck Corporation and the above-named Optionee hereby
   agree as follows:

             1.   Grant of Nonqualified Stock Options.  In consideration of
   the Optionee's services to Oshkosh Truck Corporation, a Wisconsin
   corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), as a member of the
   Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Corporation grants to the
   Optionee the option (the "Option") to purchase the number of shares of
   Class B Common Stock, one cent ($.01) par value per share, of the
   Corporation set forth above for an amount equal to the Exercise Price per
   Share, set forth above, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter
   stated.  The Option is intended to be other than an incentive stock option
   within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

             2.   Plan.  The Option is granted under and pursuant to the
   Oshkosh Truck Corporation 1990 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended, adopted
   April 9, 1990 and amended April 25, 1994 (herein called the "Plan") and is
   subject to each and all of the provisions thereof, a copy of which Plan
   has previously been furnished or made available to the Optionee.  All
   capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
   assigned to such terms in the Plan.

             3.   Exercise of Option.  Subject to the conditions stated
   herein, the right to exercise the Option shall accrue as to one-third
   (1/3) of the shares on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the
   date of grant set forth above.  No partial exercise of the Option may be
   for less than one hundred (100) share lots or multiples thereof.  

             4.   Term of Option.  The term of this Option shall expire ten
   (10) years and one (1) month from the Date of Grant or 12 months after the
   Optionee ceases for any reason to be a member of the Board of Directors of
   the Corporation, whichever occurs first.

             5.   Notice of Exercise of Option.  The Optionee or the
   Optionee's representative may exercise this Option by giving written
   notice to the Corporation at 2307 Oregon Street, P.O. Box 2566, Oshkosh,
   Wisconsin 54903-2566, Attention: Corporate Secretary, specifying the
   election to exercise the Option, the number of shares of Stock in respect
   of which it is being exercised and the form of payment and the number of
   shares, if any, to be surrendered as part of the Exercise Price.  The
   Optionee or the Optionee's representative shall deliver to the Corporate
   Secretary, at the time of giving such notice, payment in a form that
   conforms to the requirements of section 6 hereof for the full amount of
   the Exercise Price of the shares of Stock as to which this Option is
   exercised.

             The notice shall be signed by the person or persons exercising
   this Option, and in the event this Option is being exercised by the
   representative of the Optionee, it shall be accompanied by proof
   satisfactory to the Corporation of the right of the representative to
   exercise the Option.  No share of stock shall be issued until payment
   therefor has been made.  The Corporation shall thereafter cause to be
   issued a certificate or certificates for the shares of Stock as to which
   this Option shall have been so exercised, registered in the name of the
   person or persons so exercising the Option, and cause such certificate or
   certificates to be delivered to or upon the order of such person or
   persons.

             6.   Payment for Stock.  At the time of giving notice of
   exercise pursuant to section 5 hereof, the Optionee or the Optionee's
   representative shall deliver to the Corporate Secretary payment for the
   amount of the Exercise Price of the shares of Stock as to which the Option
   is being exercised:

                  (a)  In United States dollars;

                  (b)  By the surrender of shares of Stock in good form for
        transfer, owned by the person exercising this Option and having an
        aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the
        Exercise Price; or

                  (c)  In any combination of cash and shares of Stock, if the
        total of the cash so paid and the Fair Market Value of the shares of
        Stock so surrendered equals the Exercise Price of the shares of Stock
        with respect to which this Option is being exercised.

             7.   Withholding Tax.  In the event the Corporation determines
   that it is required to withhold state or Federal income tax or FICA tax as
   a result of the exercise of the Option, as a condition to the exercise of
   the Option, the Optionee will make arrangements satisfactory to the
   Corporation to enable it to satisfy such withholding requirements.

             8.   Legality of Issuance.  No shares of Stock shall be issued
   upon the exercise of any Option unless and until the Corporation has
   determined that:

                  (a)  It and the Optionee have taken all actions required to
        register the shares of Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as
        amended (the "Securities Act"), or to perfect an exemption from the
        registration requirements thereof;

                  (b)  Any applicable requirements of any stock exchange on
        which the Stock is listed or market on which the Stock is quoted have
        been satisfied; and

                  (c)  Any other applicable provision of state or Federal law
        has been satisfied.

   The Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this
   Agreement to register the shares of Stock under the Securities Act.

             9.  Restrictions on Transfers.  Regardless of whether the
   offering and sale of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan have been
   registered under the Securities Act, or have been registered or qualified
   under the securities laws of any state, the Corporation may impose
   restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such shares of
   Stock (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock
   certificates) if, in the judgment of the Corporation and its counsel, such
   restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance
   with the provisions of the Securities Act, the securities laws of any
   state or any other law.  In the event that the sale of shares of Stock
   under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption
   is available which requires an investment representation or other
   representation, the Optionee represents and agrees that the shares of
   Stock to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option hereunder shall
   be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or
   distribution thereof.  Stock certificates evidencing shares of Stock
   acquired under the Plan pursuant to an unregistered transaction shall bear
   the following or a similar restrictive legend as required or deemed
   advisable under the provisions of any applicable law:

             "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
             REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
             (`SECURITIES ACT'). ANY TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE
             INVALID UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
             IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL
             FOR THE ISSUER SUCH REGISTRATION IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR
             SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT."

             [10.  Stockholder Approval.  The amended Plan, and therefore the
   grant of Options hereunder, are subject to the approval of the holders of
   Class A Common Stock of the Corporation at the next annual meeting of
   Stockholders.]  [include only for April 1994 grants]

             11.  Removal of Legends.  If, in the opinion of the Corporation
   and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing
   shares of Stock sold under the Plan is no longer required, the holder of
   such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a
   certificate representing the same number of shares of Stock but lacking
   such legend.

             12.  No Right to Continued Employment.  This grant shall not
   confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of
   employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary nor shall it interfere in
   any way with the right of his employer to terminate such employment at any
   time, subject to the terms and conditions of any other agreements between
   the Corporation and the Optionee.

             13.  Miscellaneous.

                  (a)  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Plan
        together constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto
        with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there have
        been and are no restrictions, promises, agreements or covenants
        between the parties other than those set forth or provided for
        herein.

                  (b)  Assignment.  Except as specifically provided herein or
        in the Plan, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests
        or obligations contained herein shall be assigned by either of the
        parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party,
        and any attempted assignment without such written consent shall be
        null and void and without legal effect.  Subject to the foregoing
        sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
        benefit of the respective parties hereto and their permitted
        successors and assigns.

                  (c)  Amendment or Modification.  No term or provision of
        this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented orally, but
        only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which or
        whom the enforcement of the amendment, modification or supplement is
        sought.

                  (d)  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two
        or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but
        all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                  (e)  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by
        the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin as to all matters,
        including but not limited to matters of validity, construction,
        effect, performance and remedies.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Agreement to
   be duly executed, and the Optionee has executed this Agreement, all as of
   the day and year first above written.
