Question Horn Button Question

Now that I'm ready to purchase a horn button for my stock standard cab 1955 Panel truck, I'm wondering about what there is to offer. I know 1953 had a unique anniversary button but there is a button called the Five Star and one with the gear with lightning bolt on it for 54-56. My question is the catalogs offer the gear/bolt style with white background or a red background. Why the differences in colors? I kinda figure Five Star style were originally on Custom Cabs. Does anyone have knowledge on this? Thanks

My regular panel came with the gear/bolt style, I believe in white. Might have been black....it's been a while and, with many other F100 columns passing through me in the past decade I can't remember exactly.

'54 and '55 trucks all had the 5-star button, all models custom cab and standard cab. The button was black with the the stars and Ford script in chrome. The gear and bolt were for later years.

My 56 CC panel had the lightning bolt. IIRC the 53 had the 50th anniversary button.
