This 1988 Ford LN800 is a sewer truck — also referred to as a combination jet/vac truck — a purpose-built municipal and industrial vehicle used for cleaning, clearing, and maintaining sewer lines and underground drainage systems. Ford has long been a fixture in the commercial truck market, producing heavy-duty chassis that underpin a wide range of vocational and utility applications across municipal, construction, and industrial sectors.
The truck is fitted with a Vactor body, Model 810-E, which integrates high-pressure water jetting and vacuum capabilities for effective sewer maintenance work. Power comes from a 7.8-litre inline six-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a 6105A ten-speed manual transmission for a broad spread of working and road speeds. The truck rides on a 204-inch wheelbase with spring suspension and is rated to a gross vehicle weight of 35,000 pounds, reflecting its heavy-duty working capacity.
Braking is handled by air drum brakes, and the truck benefits from power steering. Two fuel tanks are fitted, together providing a total capacity of 100 gallons, supporting extended working shifts without frequent refuelling stops. The odometer showed approximately 93,650 miles at the time the unit was taken into consignment.
Notably, the jet pump was replaced in April 2019, indicating a significant component renewal on one of the system's most critical working parts. The truck is offered in used condition and is located in Pennsylvania, USA, priced at $15,995.
