I finally pulled the trigger on eBay for a set of the 4 tone Cadillac horns. I’ve wanted them for years and decided this was the truck I’d do put them in. The stock horns aren’t bad, but nothing beats the train horn sound from those GM beasts back in the day.

The seller I found pulls them from California cars (read, no salt), cleans them, repaints them, guarantees them for 3 years, and even supplied the relay!

I started scoping out places to mount them, lots of plastic up front, and am scheming how to fab a metal bracket to bolt to a couple existing holes I found in the rear of the bumper.

First quandary though, where are the stock horns? I’m going to need that wire to feed the relay eventually.

Stock horn is under driver front fender.

On my car i used that angle strap from hardware store. The horn mounts fit pretty evenly.

I cant remember the actual current draw, i think i used a 20amp relay.

Close, they’re A,C,D &F, it’s even stamped on each horn.

$15 is a steal, if you can even find them!

It was on most models through 1980, then the DeVille through’85. I think it was optional, some of the big Buicks had them too. I just searched Google and eBay.

Holy ****....go to the junk yard. Some have an inventory online.

We all have extra time thanks to covid.

I might start yanking horns.

I had a set of chrome Cadillac triple horns from the early 60s on my old 91 D250 Dodge/Cummins pickup. They were really loud. Stupid me left them on the truck when I sold it.

They are Cadillac horns and he is putting them on a truck. If you've ever heard the horn on an older caddy it's an unmistakable sound. It sounds like a luxury ship coming it to port, which the old ones were.
