I know my '64 Galaxie has GREAT horns(originals) on it! Unfortunately most Fleabay guys think they are "gold" when selling them.

Here is what I've put on my '67. A set of Hi/Lo's and it's pretty good sounding. Cheap money too.

I have found alot of the "Hi/Lo" ones both used and new....but was hoping for the fruitiest horn I could get!

Are the 70-74 Caddy ones made aftermarket anyplace?

(sorry, I know this is getting a little off-topic for "Ford Trucks" but I do appreciate all the help!)

Interesting you point out "they fit" 1958-72 all cars/trucks. The horns on my Galaxie are NOTHING like the ones that came on my '67 or '69 F100. So I'm sure they "fit" but aren't the same by any stretch of the imagination. One: they either changed design(and kept part number) or TWO: there is actually a different part number for 1964. If I get the chance, I'll take a look and see if I can find a part number on mine.

I would think that they would have been really cheap back in the 70's-80's. But like anything that is 40yrs old, and still works, they want MORE for them cause someone wants them. We'll see if they sell? Probably not.

I'm battling with **ONE** guy on Ebay.....he buys up every set of triples and quads....looks like he pays between $65 and $125 for them too.....

Perhaps he's hoping to corner the market.....

Shucks auto here in WA has about 10-12 different custom horns to choose from. I want to get really really loud horns and also a ooooga old timer funny horn.

I've thought about that...and a few other vintage horns....what I really want is something that will soil trousers!

I know what you mean. I ride motorcycles 90% of the time (rain or shine). Nothing like 130 db horn. I wanted something louder, but nothing would look good on a crotch rocket.
