Horn location

My 64 truck came to me without the horns on it and I was wondering where they mounted originally if anyone has any pictures that would be great. Also did the wiring run straight from the relay on the passenger inner fender to the horn or did it loop back around the firewall and through the light harness?

Thanks for any help

Kyle: I'll try to get you some phots this weekend if nobody responds by then. On the '66 there are "dimples" in the radiator support where the holes are placed for mounting the horn. Mine came with one horn, but with dimples on the opposite side, telling me exactly where the other horn would mount. I don't know if your 64 is the same.

Thanks for the response I’m not sure 64 is the same it seems to be the oddball year but you never know.

On right side radiator support next to radiator. Should be a hole and weld nut.

Or on either side of the radiator if two horns. On the front side. Here's a picture looking down between grill and radiator support on the drivers side. Truck has two factory horns, high and low note.

So I’m not sure how it was affected but this truck did have the dealer installed a/c so it couldn’t have had the horns on the drivers side inner fender as the drier was there, and the power steering reservoir was just next to that. there no holes on the front of the core support to show where they would have been.so far next to the radiator sounds plausible but I wouldn’t know where exactly they would be I’m assuming toward the top since the wiring is up there. Although in the lighting harness there are no horn wires. Were these run separate in 64?

napass….sounds like the photos here might not help you from the descriptions above. Mine were mounted on the radiator support, again, just in front of a hole on either side. Whether the holes are there, or not, on your 64 is probably not the issue but your horn mounting may be dictated by the wiring connectors in your loom. You can always splice them if you want them to reach behind the grill. Most horn are mounted in front in order to be heard, so you might want to keep that in mind as well.

Wow thanks for the detailed pictures. Your truck looks awesome I checked out your build thread and that interior is amazing. I might have a few questions for you on it. Anyway on my 64 it has no holes where your horns are located, so I’m assuming the 64 is different seems like everything on a 64 is kind of an oddball. Also there are no horn wires in my headlight harness so I’m guessing it may have been run separately like earlier mentioned. I really do appreciate the effort you put into this though thank you.

This might not help a whole lot but if you look at this drawing for numbers 13832 and 13833 and follow the lines those are pointing to - those are the horns. This is showing the two horn system. Says it covers 1964 and it looks like all of the ones I've seen.

I appreciate the information but without seeing a picture of how it’s mounted I’m still in the dark.

Remove battery? So it must be different than mine because the battery is on the firewall.
