I am in the process restoration and I would like to install a military looking/sounding horn in the stock location. Is there a replacement out there that fits the bill?

Google search for Roadrunner beep beep horn, and you should find several like this one,https://www.summitracing.com/parts/w...xoCWbIQAvD_BwE
Does it sound like the military horn? I am not sure what the original sounded like anyway. A big truck with a weak horn does not sound good.
The original M715 horn sounds kind of lame to me. At least mine does. :confused:Quote:

Thanks for the info. Looks great.
I was very disappointed in the stock horn... Running the stock horns off the 85 GMC engine donor and they're pretty wimpy too.
Thinking of getting stock BMW horns... My wife's 328i sounds like a TRUCK.
I've often said, my stock horn sounds just like the Plymouth Road Runner horn. Not very loud and a perfect "Beep Beep".
i figure ill throw this question in here since we are talking horns...my 24v horn also sounds like a dying frog.
my question is what relay would i need to use the stock 24v leads off the horn to signal a 12v air horn? i have a cheesy air horn setup from auto zone or whatever laying around in my basement.
not sure how to word it but use 24v signal and the load would be 12v @ 20amps maybe for the little compressor :confused:
my head hurts from searching the google
oops didn't realize that was my first post...
sorry :)
bought the truck a couple of years ago and been tinkering with it since
it's awesome.
that's my story :cool:
When I first got my truck I kept the 24v system for a while and got a voltage converter from Amazon to run 12v accessories.
Kinda like this one.
