Horn pic request

Anyone have a picture of their factory horn setup on a 73-80? I have two separate horn units on Yeller (factory), and I am pretty sure I know how they bolt in...but just want to be sure. Hey, I took them off 6 years ago.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Re: Horn pic request

I don't have a pic,sorry
If it helps the brackets on the horn bolt to the top plate of the core support. ut the bolt thru the top plate of the core support to the horn bracket[should have a welded nut on it]
Hope that makes sense.

Re: Horn pic request

Jeff-
Just to expand what DESTRO describe...
Here's a few pics of the stock dual horn setup (post 80 era) since I had the front disassembled. I'm not sure of the difference between the two model years.

Re: Horn pic request

My 73 is completely different than these setups. I appreciate the help, but not exactly what I need. I think I got it figured out, I'll post pics in a bit.

It was a long shot, but since I had it apart, I thought that I would snap a few pics for reference.

Re: Horn pic request

Both mine are attached to the interior portion of the core support on the drivers side. Not sure if that was a factory location on the '73 Blazers or not but if you want a pic I will post one as well.

That is where mine are located as well. Sure, grab a pic if you can and it isn't too much. You can never have too much info. Thanks.

Re: Horn pic request

Jeff - Here's some I had my son take after school. Sorry for the quality, he loaned out the GOOD camera...

From a 1973 K5 (Sorry for the junk)




Hope these help. We get the good camera back tomorrow. I'll post better if you need it.

- Dave
