I'm reading the March/April issue of Vintage Truck magazine and there is an article about forward control delivery trucks. Hahn is mentioned along with a company called Spangler making trucks for UPS. Is this the same as Hahn as the fire truck mfg and if so any pics of a Hahn UPS truck??

Sorry, I have no pics to share, but I do have some info.  Yes, it's the same Hahn and Spangler was a relative.  There were Hahn/Spangler fire apparatus as well.  If no one beats me to it, I'll add more details tomorrow after I get home and do some research.

Lady Warren's Hahn did have 3 inch hose reels in the back.

Well, since no one jumped in, here goes.....

 

   William Hahn, a wagon/carriage builder since 1898, built his first fire apparatus in 1915.  His brother Adam joined him a few years later.  Herbert Spangler was hired in 1917 and worked his way up to Production Manager.  William Hahn died in 1937, leaving Adam running the company.  Adam sold out to Herbert Spangler in 1939, and Hahn Motors ownership continued under the Spangler family for many years.  Robert Stavin was the last owner of Hahn Motors, husband of Spangler's granddaughter.

   Herbert Spangler created another company, D.H. Spangler Engineering and Sales Company, to market his design for a tandem front axle steering/suspension system.  All of Spangler's products were manufactured at Hahn Motors.  These systems were used on dump trucks and concrete mixers and similar vehicles, including the Spangler Dual, a monsterous rig with four axles (two steering), sixteen tires, two motors, two pumps, and four booster reels.  Only a few were built.

   While fire apparatus was a large part of Hahn Motors, they also built commercial trucks as well.  In 1946, Hahn Motors won a contract to build delivery bodies on various commercial chassis for UPS.  I believe they are the ones you were reading about.
