Mystery Horn button...??????
 
What kind of horn button is this? I have never seen another like it. It appears to be a 67 68 GMC but the logo is strange and it has a horn picture on it. The seller told me it is for 68-70...? Aftermarket perhaps?

For a big truck used well into the 80s I believe.

I told the seller that I thought that it was for a big truck. Will that fit on my 68 steering wheel?

Should be fine. I say medium truck/ school bus. I'm pretty sure the center is the same

Thanks for the reply. If this sale goes through, I want this on my 67 GMC with an original 68 steering wheel. It looks neat!

Yes, the post '68 big truck steering wheels are the same except slightly bigger diameter (yet smaller than 69-72). People got dumber so they needed to start putting a picture to find the horn on the steering wheel where they have always been and still are* :cool:

* Except air horn pull chains

Well, the sale of this fell through on Ebay because the seller could not find the horn button after I bought it. So one PayPal refund, and a phone call later, I found a NOS one at a Chevrolet dealership in Kansas and bought that today. Next up is to get the remainder of the steering wheel horn-related parts that I am missing...

My company had a 1987 GMC C-6500 that I drove a lot, and it had that horn button.

Sounds like a VERY big truck!
I actually like the larger lettering on this, I think it will look great in my 67. I have had such a good luck finding New Old Stock Parts at dealerships that I'm considering looking for the actual GMC horn button that is correct just as a backup. I actually found a New Old Stock set of black armrests at a dealership a few weeks back but did not buy them. They would not come down on the price enough. I can usually talk dealerships down on their prices due to these parts collecting dust on their shelves for decades.
That horn button had been sitting on their shelf since 1992.
