Default HornBlasters Setup In My TBSS

First off, I have to thank my buddy Jon (LS3S10) for doing the fabrication on for the compressor and for letting me use his lift. It was a life saver having the ability to do use it, especially after cervical fusion on 1 level of my neck 8 weeks ago.

I'm sorry for the bad camera phone pics, but I forgot my digital camera at home... Hopefully you can tell what's going on though. The tank/compressor is inside the driver's side rear bumper and the 3 smaller horns are in front of the gas tank with the longest one outside the frame rail. The compressor and tank are secure as a **** bolted to the frame. Yeah I know the horns look kinda crappy there, but they're secure and there's literally no other place for them.

On a side note, if someone else wants a compressor/tank bracket like mine, my buddy said he'd make a duplicate if you're interested.. Just bolt the compressor to it and it to the frame and you're good as gold. He said it's possible to do on a f-body in the driver's side cubby hole for the compressor so hit him or me up if you're thinking of doing it.

I put a on/off switch on them... off then the normal horn, on and both train horn and normal horn works....both controlled through the steering wheel horn button.

I had a set on my Lincoln Mark LT before I got my F350 (back before anybody had these) and I swear I had more fun with those than any other single mod EVER on anything. I have got to get a set for this knew truck...I just dont know where I would mount them. There was room under the front end of the Mark LT because it was a 2wd...with the Power Stroke and being a 4wd there isnt enough room for ANYTHING on this new truck. I am thinking of dropping the spare tire and putting them there but I dont know how I would like them at the back...but I think thats my only choice.

Yeah I gotta be VERY careful when I honk them... It's amazing how loud they are. It's great when I park the car in a parking lot and walking away. I can honk them from the remote and no one knows.

BTW, the tank and compressor would fit in the driver's side cubby hole on an fbody. Ouside from having the compressor inside the car, it's feasible to do it. I wish I'd thought about it when I had the hawk!

There's a few up there, but nothing worthwhile. I need to find an empty parking lot to get some good video still though.

Is is sad I live pretty close to the train tracks too??? Comes in handy at night on the road parallel to the tracks.

Surprising enough all my neighbors actually like the horns. It's funny, their kids will be outside and I'll look over driving down the road and see them do the "18 wheeler arm motion" for me to honk, lol!

I would too.. Not sure if I'd be mad or not, guess it depends how close. One thing I think would work but haven't done is when in traffic, roll down your windows and hit it...when you do look around like everyone else is doing to keep from looking suspecious.. But don't know if I could do that without laughing.
