Need pictures of factory Dual Horns installed

Yep, I used a factory horn with it's original bracket and I didn't have to drill any holes.

Was curious about the "dual horn" and "hi/lo" horn references. I thought this was interesting from another post on the forum, FWIW:

"...The horns themselves are identical to those used in most 60s Chevys EXCEPT for the mounting brackets which are unique to these trucks. I don't believe the high note horns were available until 1970. My 69 core support doesn't even have a weld-on nut for the high horn below the left headlight. Also, I've found only one high horn in the junkyards that worked. Most lows have worked. Here's a couple pictures of the horns. The high is on the left. Note that the high has an "H" on it. The low does NOT have a "L".

"...I just checked the 2 from this 72 I'm parting out. The high had a big H in a circle and the low just has a small L in the middle, no circle."

Good points.
When I restored my '69, I replaced the original core support with one from a '71 or '72. I couldn't pass it up when I saw it on Craig's List in perfect condition blasted and primed for $50. I figured I couldn't restore mine for that even though all it needed was paint. My pic above shows the high horn in the correct factory hole with a weld nut on the on the front side.

As halfstep mentioned. I found lots of working low horns but only one or two working highs. I figured that may be due to the horizontal angle of the high horn compared to the low horn pointing down-word allowing the horn to be more likely to "capture" water and rust the diaphragm.
