Connection between Ottawa Truck and Hahn?
#1
A local builder Beck used to use both Hahn's 92 chassis and Ottawa Truck's fire chassis.

I have never seen anything to tie Hahn to Ottawa, but as far as I can tell the two used the same chassis. Possibly different under the skin but the cabs are identical. Did Ottawa build chassis for Hahn, or perhaps Ottawa bought the rights to Hahn's chassis when Hahn went under, or maybe they both sourced the cab from the same third party? (TCM seems likely if that is the case).

Anyway I've always been curious about that as the cab has a very distinct look, no way you can mistake it for any of the other 80s box style cabs.


Kern county was a good customer of Beck using both Hahn and Ottawa chassis.

I believe this is an Ottawa, as Kern County's Hahn chassis Becks seem to have been canopy cabs.
