Horn Transplants
Looking to replace the horns in my 69. They work, I just want something that sounds better. When I was young, we went with Caddy horns from the 50's, and I'm sure they're not easy to get now. Anyone out there done a horn transplant recently?

I don't know about Caddy horns, but I've always been a big fan of air horns.

I use a set of dual note horns from the 73-87 trucks. They make plenty of noise. I even have a set on the Nissan!
