Horn connection - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fire235 · 05-05-2005, 01:24 PM

I am trying to install the horn in my 68 and need help. Can someone post a pic, or tell me the steps for hooking up the horn connection kit, retainer cup and grommet? The kit I ordered came with instructions for a 55 car, but the place I bought it from says the kits are the same. Now I need some instructions for the 68 truck, which they say they don't have. I am using the 68 style wheel and horn button (round hub and button). Any help would be great, thanks.

i am trying to think of how it all works. i know there is a plastic ring that goes under the wheel and holds the steering shaft bearings in place. and on that plastic ring there is a rod that pokes through the wheel that comes in contact with the metal ring that holds the horn cover on. but there is a plastic thingy that goes inbetween the wheel and the metal ring and then the horn button and rubber. as far as below the plastic ring it should have a copper ring that rubs on a rod of some sort to transfer power to the button. clear as mud? been a while since i had mine off and i didnt really pay attention. maybe someone that just had theres apart can help if i just confused you more
