both horns mount to the drivers side on the rad support//make sure to clean real well because the horn bracket to rad support is your ground for the horn

Yeah, I was having a problem as I read the note, about the right side horn. Now, I see that there is none. I took the horns off of a 50-series school bus, that I am going to install on my truck in place of the single horn it has. In addition, I have a Delco High C horn to add to the mix, giving it a Cadillac sound (tri-tone option on the Caddy's). So, I'll also be installing a horn relay to handle the current load.

Good Question.

There is already a horn relay, all you need to do is wire it up.

The basic horn goes just outboard of the radiator - there is a captured nut about7 inches up from bottom of the core support. The optional horn mounts with a captured nut on the lower left of the headlight indentation on the core. The radiator brackets are usually rivited by the factory but use a thin head stainless 1/4-20 to attach to the core.

Hope this helps - Bob

It might be hard to reach when you want to honk if you mount it way up there.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
