What horns have you all used? I went to my parts stash, and found a set, High Low horns, from a 80's Silverado to put on my '49. Nice and free, now just need to decide where and how to mount them, they have the stock brackets on them. where and how did you mount yours? what kind of horn button are you using? I will be using a column mount horn button until I switch out the column.

 

Years ago when I built my '50, I snagged a pair of horns from a 67 Fairlane and mounted them in the cavity between the grille and radiator. They worked great. Point the trumpets downward so they don't fill up with water or bugs and debris.

 

I'm not sure what they're out of???

 

Part of what I scavenged from my old Eldo was the Hi/Low horns. I mounted them and an Oogah horn in the front well, pointing down like 52 Merc said.

 

anyone have pics of their's installed? I'm looking on what is clean looking. My horns are the High/Low pair.

 

also have a pair of electric Cadillac horns under the hood

 

Lucifers', according to my wife!

 

I keep buying cheap ones from the swapmeet (under $2 each), I have a few low and 1 high (12v and 6v). I made some brackets for my truck and cleaned up 2 horns (put some on my '47 car also).

 

Now thats funny. I dont care who you are. Thats funny.

 

I have 1 stock horn under the hood. I think there should be 2 but one is missing. Man that sucker is loud.

 

I'm planning on using the original from the 56 as it seems to be louder than any of the newer ones I've heard and there is a screw on them that allows you to tune them.

 

Both of my vehicles had new horns (I assume because of the 12v conversion) and they just sound WRONG. I always stay with older horns they just sound better, the '54 panel has 6v ones until I find 12v ones.

 

Federal, but need another for the passenger side:





Still has the stock 6V under the hood..

 

Hell's Bells?
