Horn Button? 1981 C10 farm truck

Sometimes the simple things are the hardest.

My horn button in my 1981 Chevy C10 farm truck fell off in my lap the other day. A couple of the little tabs on the back side of the button got brittle and broke off, it seems, and now the horn button won't stay on the steering wheel.

"Fine," I said to myself. "Somebody out there has to have an OEM or OEM-style horn button for one of these trucks, I'll just order one."

So far, however, no luck.

How do I go about getting one of these?

Re: Horn Button? 1981 C10 farm truck

I was able to get an entire steering wheel including all of the horn stuff from my local pull a part for $5. The wheel was from an 80s era Blazer. Fit just fine on my 75 C10 and was a nice improvement over the sticky goop oozing original wheel.

I was more asking if that is the STYLE you needed, since there were a few different types of steering wheels and horn buttoms......
