Horn and or Bracket Question...

Does anyone know if the horn bracket is a separate part from the horn and if it was used on any other Fords during the 73-79 years? I know my 78' has a empty spot for another horn on the core support on the driver side.

I thought it was one unit the horn is welded to the bracket last I remember. I had a 73 that had the dual horns and when I had to put her down and got my 78 it had one horn... so i moved the option to my new truck.

the 73 was a camper special XLT
the 78 was a ranger custom

the horn kit that I moved over came with a Y wire for the horn and the additional horn, it was a "plug and play" install.

the horns are a high and a low they bolt in the hole that you see on the cross-member

The brackets are welded to the horns. Most of these trucks came from the factory with a single horn mounted on the right side, that was a "Lo" tone horn. There was an option offered for dual horns with the other one mounted on the left side, that one is the "Hi" tone horn. I just seen a set of dual horns for F-series trucks on fle-bay the other day complete with the stock wire harness. The dual horns sound like an old Buick or Cadillac. -Ed
