Default big truck junkyards?

I made another post before looking for some trains but train horns are WAY too expensive and truck horns sound just as good when you pump some pressure through just a little deeper tone. Does anyone know where there are big rig junkyards in the tristate area(closer to gloucester county/camden/philly). Looking online truck horns are fairly inexpensive so they can't cost that much at a scrap yard. Thanks for any reply's. And the reason i just want horns is because the truck i'm putting them on is going to eventually get bagged and stock floor body dropped so i'm going to run the horns off of the same compressor and tank as my bags(12 gallon tank and 3 viair compressors)

i'll post any i find on this post, i can't find anything on google or yellow pages for truck junk/scrap/salvage yards. i'll prolly check the phone book tomorrow. I think I know of one yard in sewell, it's just a little thing but i think i heard it's shut down because the owner died and his son isn't running it or something but idk for sure.

This is Harry's, one of the biggest salvage yards anywhere. I am pretty sure their main yard in Hazelton, PA has some big rigs.

Give them a call. There is a late model place there too called Kress. They have always been pretty good when I have called for things.

I will actually be headed that way in a week or two just for fun. Let me know if you need me to pick anything up.

I work at a Kenworth truck dealer. Usually I work in the wholesale truck sales department, but I also manage the used parts division. Stop by and I'll give you an air horn.
