Item 5.03.     Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

        Oshkosh Truck Corporation (the “Company”) filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to change each share of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) outstanding or held in treasury into two shares of Common Stock to effect a two-for-one split of the Company’s Common Stock. The amendment increased the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 effective at the close of business on August 16, 2005 (the “Record Date”).

        In connection with the two-for-one stock split, at the Record Date, each share of Common Stock outstanding or held in treasury immediately prior to the Record Date was changed into two shares of Common Stock. Stock certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock outstanding or held in treasury on the Record Date will continue to evidence the same number of shares that such certificates evidenced prior to the Record Date, and the additional shares will be evidenced by new certificates distributed on August 26, 2005 to persons who were at the Record Date the holders of Common Stock. After the two-for-one split of the Common Stock, each share of Common Stock will trade and be issued with one-sixth of a Preferred Share Purchase Right.

        The amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation and the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are filed herewith as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively.

Item 8.01.     Other Events.

        The Company is undertaking to meet the requirements of Rule 416(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regarding its Registration Statement No. 333-101596 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the Oshkosh Truck Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). Under Rule 416(b), if additional securities are issued as a result of a stock split prior to the completion of the distribution of the securities covered by a registration statement, then the additional securities are covered by the registration statement, provided that the registration statement is amended. As discussed, the Company will effect a two-for-one stock split of its Common Stock payable August 26, 2005.

        The Registration Statement registered 50,000 shares of Common Stock and 33,333 Preferred Share Purchase Rights attached to the Common Stock to be sold pursuant to the Plan, and, pursuant to Rule 416(b) and by virtue of a Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 3, 2003, the Registration Statement was deemed to cover the additional shares of Common Stock and Preferred Share Purchase Rights that were issuable as a result of the two-for-one stock split of the Common Stock that was payable on August 13, 2003 to shareholders of record on August 6, 2003.

        Pursuant to Rule 416(b), by virtue of this filing, the Registration Statement, as previously amended as discussed above, is deemed to cover the additional shares of Common Stock and Preferred Share Purchase Rights that are issuable as a result of the two-for-one stock split payable August 26, 2005.
