Default Ford horn location?

Might as well show my incompetence out in the open.

Here goes : What king of horn would go on a CMP 15A G.S. with a cab 13 ?

Were would it be fitted in front of the grille , behind , on the side , if so wich side ?

I can't seem to get an answer from what reference books i have . I am flustered.


Thanks

Beep -beep

Bob

Default no stupid questions

Hi Bob

Welcome to the MLU Forum. I hope this is not hijacking Richard's CMP seat cover thread. This is just to start you off - I'm sure the Ford experts here will chime in.

The Maintenance Manual ( MB-F1 ) for your truck shows the horn being mounted on the front, left side.

The specs are:

Make - Ford Motor Co. ( Sparks - Withington Co., Jackson Mich. )
Type - vibrator type ( six-volt )
Ref. No. - C29Q-13833 ( Horn and Brkt. assy. - C29Q-13802 )

Cheers,

Brian

Default Welcome Bob from Bob

Bienvenue au MLU......

Yes your seats should be in OD green..... but then it is your truck and your comfort.

Horn wise..... I spent the last 20 minutes looking in my various photos to show you what a Ford Horn looks like with no success.

It is located under the fender on the passenger side.... fixed to the frame behind the bumper...... It looks like a Chevrolet horn without viagra..... much shorter !!!!!!

Surely some Furd lover can illustrate my point with a proper photo.

Just remember there are no stupid question...... except for the one you did not ask and you now broke an original part......

Since most of us can't read too good some photos of your truck would be greatly appreciated. Do you have the ID tag on the dash showing the year of manufacturing.....

Where is St George....? you must be close enough to take a ride to the Hammond barn some weekend..... we are just a glide East of Ottawa off the 417.

Default Horn bracket

Hello Robert, and welcome!

The horn is attached to the bracket that holds the front part of radiator overflow tank. Or at least that's where I have seen several attached. There is a small horn bracket which goes on horn itself, and this small piece is what is connected to the overflow tank front bracket.

I'm at work now, but will send you a photo later tonight....local time.

Well thank you very much to Bob, Brian and Tony.

I will need help to post pictures of my baby. Tried but it seems my files are too large.

Yes Bob i can glide in. Is there an airport nearby ? I will be on duty at NDHQ in late march. Could glide in sometime.

Thanks a lot for the responses . I feel most welcome.

Now i must figure out how to post pictures....

Robert
