The vehicles built in the US immediately after WWII were a happy mess of scrounged parts and poor documentation. I would presume the Canadian production had much the same approach. The passage of time also meant gave many opportunities for part swapping/replacement.
Case in point, according to the Early Ford V8 Club reference book, the 46 Ford passenger cars had EITHER the old trumpet style OR the new snail style horns. Mine ended up with BOTH with the snail horns mounted on brackets hand welded to the radiator support.
Your truck could very well have originally had the trumpet style cobbled on to your inner fender. That was the spot used on my '46 Deluxe.

I am finishing up restoring a 1950 F47 truck. Your horn is much different than mine. Do you have reason to believe your horn is original equipment? I have attempted top source a copy of a Canadian parts book. Not easy to find. I have attached a photograph of my hone. I finished it in what I believe is the original color.
Thanks

so I took the horn apart and cleaned up all the connections, I put the horn back together and it still just makes a thunk sound, I have tried turning the adjustment screw all the way in and all the way out it didn't make a difference. Is there something I am missing or is this horn buggered?
