Early Hahn "customs" were built on an AutoCar or FWD cab forward chassis using a cab built by TCM (Truck Cab Manufacturers, cincinnati, OH). When Hahn began building on their own custom chassis in 1966, the same TCM cab was used. From then until 1972, when the Hahn "Eyebrow" cab was introduced, all Hahn custom apparatus used the TCM cab.
Imperial built fire apparatus from 1969-1975 and all Imperial custom apparatus had TCM cabs.

Imperial's rigs look very similar to Hahn's I think this was intended (body's & chassis).
Imperial & Hahn's main market was in the same area. Many Imperial rig's were sold to Hahn customers.
