Cadillac horns?
So I was talking with my dad and he thinks he has a set of 3 (low, mid, and high) horns from a Cadillac in his garage somewhere.
Would those be cool on a 1972 truck? |

Re: Cadillac horns?
I have some Cadillac horns in my truck from a late model Cadillac. Got them from the junkyard. I like the way they sound. I just have a low and hi though. Didn't know they had 3

Re: Cadillac horns?
I've heard of the Cadillac triples (no pun intended). I think they'd be a great choice!

Re: Cadillac horns?
YES..!!!!! Do not wait any longer, go do it now.!! I had a set in a 72 I once owned. Wish I would have kept the horns when I sold it.

Re: Cadillac horns?
Thanks guys. My dad's garage is pretty loaded up, movement is difficult. Hopefully he can find those by next summer when I get back on the truck in earnest.
I will definately take your advice. :-) |

Re: Cadillac horns?
I have 4 Cadillac horns in my 72. I think they came out of a late 80's model. All 4 are different tones and they are awesome! Do it.

Re: Cadillac horns?
My horns are both fried. Now you all got me thinking about finding these as replacements.

Re: Cadillac horns?
I'm not sure what could be done to fix. I figured the inners were dried and busted. We hooked one up and it went 'hoooonnnnkkssssss, poof no more sound". Real faint. The other never responded.

Re: Cadillac horns?
Spray WD40 inside the horns, let 'em sit overnight and give 'em a try the next day. Cheap fix if it works.

Re: Cadillac horns?
This is pretty much what I put in my 72. These are going pretty cheap.

Re: Cadillac horns?
I had the Cadillac horns on a 71 I used to have. Ended up having to rewire them so the relay drew its power straight from the battery, they sounded good but weren't very loud until I rewired them
