1960 Horn ring

I need to know what kind of horn ring or button my 1960 Custom Cab has. I've seen a button and a ring with a center button that looks attached. Which is it?

It's BOTH. That was one of the upgrades available in the Custom Cab package. Standard was the little button and the deluxe option was the large horn ring. I have a couple trucks of each style. Does the truck have a radio? AX or Henry will probably be able to tell which one your truck had originally from the VIN number.

Thanks. My VIN is F10J0E53470. I don't have the original steering wheel. I picked up a horn button, but don't know if it's right.

Do you have the rest of the VIN. What you posted is the normal VIN, but the guys will be able to figure out a lot of things from the other numbers that follow (in the glove box, just read off all the other letters and numbers about the trans and axle, etc). Also, what about the radio? My best guess is that if you have a radio, you would have had the Horn Ring instead of the button.

My C.C. 60 came with the big horn ring and no radio. I added the radio. It was built in Dec 60 if I am reading the Vin correctly.

Like others have said, only horn rings were put on custom cabs.... They get swapped over the years but only rings are correct.

Mr4speedford does that mean that all custom cabs had horn rings or just all horn rings were in custom cabs? Thanks

Oooo, you had a "ticket-me" red truck to begin with (Monte Carlo Red). You can safely repaint it red and then ignore all the naysayers who'll tell you there are too many red trucks already.

I think I understand that question, the only way to get a horn ring on a 1960 f-100 was to order the custom cab package. It was NOT a seperate option like wipers or engine size....

For years I thought the color was Rangoon Red, but this place set me straight. I think it will be Monte Carlo again, but my son wants a white stripe or two up the hood. Should make it stand out from all the other red trucks. Still a ways off as I'm still trying to get a couple doors.

Did all Custom Cabs have chrome grilles and bumpers along with the different horn ring?
