LN600

Ford’s LN600 was a medium-duty conventional truck in the Louisville Line/L-Series family, positioned as a work-focused straight truck for vocational use rather than as a consumer pickup. The nameplate appears in Ford truck literature by the 1970 model year and remained part of Ford’s medium-duty lineup through the mid-1980s. Over that span, it served in commercial, municipal, farm, and fleet duty, typically in cab-and-chassis, stake, dump, box, and other body configurations built by upfitters. In the early years, it sat within Ford’s L-series medium-duty range alongside other LN and L models, reflecting Ford’s effort to offer heavier-duty conventional trucks with a more truck-specific chassis and equipment than its light-duty F-Series. By the 1980s, the truck continued as an LN-series medium-duty model until the nameplate ended after the 1985 model year. Enthusiasts generally remember it as part of Ford’s long-running Louisville truck era, valued for its simple, rugged commercial hardware and broad vocational versatility.
