Where's the horn go? F8
 

Where does the horn fit on the Cab 12 F8? I have the horn with bracket attached but no obvious home for it. Must be down low since there's precious little space around and above the engine.

Hi David,

I found the horn on the left front side of the chassis on our 11 cab F60H.

Good luck!

Horn Bracket Location
 

David:
I have a F8 and the horn bracket is located on top of the left frame rail just to the rear of the left front engine mount. Attached is a picture of the bracket on my truck. Notice that one side is broken! :ergh:

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Jim

Check out the Ford factory pics....
 

...not a F8 but..... gives you a good idea...

Funny thing it is black and the "long" horn like a Chev.... may have been another bad day at the Ford plant.....

At what point did they move the horn
 

Hi Bob

Yes, that does look like a Chevy horn on that Ford. My question is at what point did the move the horn from inside the engine compartment to the front bumper. I would suspect that the change came with the move to the 13 Cab.

Always wondered about the practicality of the horn in the engine compartment of a CMP the noise level from the fan is so high I think the horn is loader in the truck than out side.

Hornery question..........
 

The change occurred exactly... in May 22nd 1942...... on the evening shift right after the supper break....

I am sure David Hayward will confirm that momentous event.
