Air Horns?
I have a 86 F-250 that i am having repainted, and replacing many rotted body parts. My stock horn dosnt work, and i want to put some air horns up top. what type of kits do you reccomend, and how involved is the install? i dont mind having a pull string on the roof, thats prety cool.
Also, my rims seem to have 7 lugnuts instead of 8 thats most have, will this be a problem if i went to buy larger tires?
if the pic dosnt come up you have to right click the redX and go to properties and copy the url of the picture, and paste that in the browser thing to get it to work.

Air Horns require AIR, so you'll have to have a air pump to pump those horns, an Electric Air Horn doesn't require an extra air pump, it has it on build inside the unit.
You'll have to have 16in. tires is all, it doesnt matter how many lugs is on the truck, what matters is the SIZE of the rim, and if its wide enough to accept a wide tire or too narrow to accept a low profile tire.

Count 'em!
is it possible that those are fake lugnuts on the hub cap? the trucks at paint now and i cant check. those arent the stock wheels, my uncle dumped the big tires a few years ago and picked those up.

yes, Those are fake lugnuts on the surface of the hubcap.
Remove the hubcap to see the real lugnuts

I'm not sure but, air horns alone may not be legal. I believe in PA you need an electric horn to pass state inspection.
Cheap horns can be gotten at harborfreight.com

I bought a set at Harbor freight and I was really dissaponted. Instead of the desired "big rig" sound, they made a high pitched "squeek" like a lunch truck.
I hated it... (ALl though my friend was dying to get his hands on it so he could drive around contruction sites and mechanic shops and watch everyone come out looking for the lunch truck).
I ended up removing them and installing them on my son's Power wheels jeep
