Just a note on trim level designations - at least in 51 and 52, possibly
earlier, they are all 5-Star - what people erroneously refer to as the Custom
Cab was a 5-Star Extra. Custom Cabs came along with F-100s in '53.
I have never seen a 51-52 with only one horn. In fact, I once used a
pair of the 6-volt trumpet horns on a '61 Renault Dauphine (12v), painted up
and mounted on outside of the hood! Maybe I shouldn't admit that ... High
School car, you know.
Anyway, the pair are short and long which changes the tone, the heads are
the same as far as I know. They come apart, so you can knock out the wads of
rust and such, but be real careful of the electric components once you have
the round cover off. There's a wound resistor in there that's quite fragile
(I think it's a resistor). They work real well, and for a surprisingly long
time, on 12V.....
