Re: The Snortin' bull
Maintenance is good on these old trucks. What are the details on your headliner? Hard to tell from the pics. It looks like some kind of vinyl/leather material.

Re: The Snortin' bull
The headliner is a kit from LMC.Vinyl upholstered panel .It is a medium weight Fiberboard backed. Good color. Nothing fancy but fit was good and a fair value.

The Snortin' Bull has no horn.I had an old siren the the fiftie's .So I thought for the time it will be fun.Fab'd a momentary switch bracket and mounted .

Mounted off to the side .Easy to switch. It's loud enough .The thought is to add a air operated train horn .

Re: The Snortin' bull
Horn looks cool, but I really like your idea of a train horn!

Well most of the bug's are out .Hearing the gear drive and exhaust, air compressors and such is cool some beat's would be good. So still this is a budget build and no polished billet ride. Fabbed up some spacers to fit Stillwater Kicker speaker's on to door rib's.SSL audio deck installed is the start.

Using the radio delete plate. A simple insert to blend the audio deck into the dash.
