Go for it!!! I love the Dukes of Hazzard! Once I finish my '87, I've got to find me a 4x4 to make into a redneck truck. I'll definetly put the dixie horn on it!!!

rolson1039 · 02-29-2004, 10:44 PM

i dont have a dixie horn but i have one of them air horns with the electric powered compressor i mounted the trumpets on the wheel well and the compressor on the radiator support . Its loud and gets the people who sleep while driving in the NYC area to wake up some

**swervin ervin** · 02-29-2004, 10:58 PM

I used to love them things when I was a kid. Believe me, they were popular before the Dukes of Hazard had one. There were several guys who had them back then. One guy had a very nice 69 Z28 that had one. It used to be a very in thing to do back in the day. Now, someone would probably jump out of their car and shoot you.

Then you'll be "The Guy With That Horn". Muhahaha.

ElGracho · 02-29-2004, 11:25 PM

Listen to this.

1985K10 · 02-29-2004, 11:41 PM

I'll get you a pic of my setup tommarow when its light out...yes its a dixie horn! I have a switch to pick either my regular horn or the dixie horn, using the stock horn button.

MIKE'67 · 03-01-2004, 11:10 AM

I mounted the trumpets on the left fenderwell. I made a bracket so they all lined up horizontally. Even though they were behind the radiator sheet metal they still are loud enough. Make sure the horn end tips slightly downward to keep water out.

8t5Silverado · 03-01-2004, 12:09 PM

I want one as well.

Hell, I thought about putting one on my Subaru. I told my wife that I am painting the Subaru orange and putting the Stars and Bars on the roof when the paint gets bad.

I've been that route way back in the late 70's & early 80's in my 4x4 day's.

I just think you have a very nice truck and it would ruin it if you installed thoes cheezy horn's on it but that's just my opinion.

If you do decide to ruin your truck you should mount the horns right to the top of your cab so every one can see them as well as hear them.

And just so you know im a rebel thru and thru and you can't get any more southern than me i was born in so. fla.

1985K10 · 03-01-2004, 06:44 PM

Hey i appreciate that very much, the compliment, but im young(turning 16 on sunday the 7th)and in high shcool, just something i have to do to get out of my system. no one will know i have it unless i use it or they look under the hood.

1985K10 · 03-01-2004, 08:57 PM

I blew it in a Wal-Mart parking lot, few minutes later my friend, who lives a few miles away from Wal-mart, called and said he heard I dixie horn!

yfs200p · 03-01-2004, 10:37 PM

Hey 1985K10, is your WW fluid container in the stock location? Also, do you think it is possible to just mount them all to the fender w/o making a bracket? and if youre feeling really amitious, it would be a huge help if u gave me the measurements for that bracket thanks a million

1985K10 · 03-01-2004, 11:45 PM

The WW fluid tank is in the stock location, I dont know about mounting the horns to the fender, and I can get you the measurments tommarow.

Trucks · 03-02-2004, 10:38 PM

I have a dixie horn too, it rocks! Don't let any city kid diss it. Easy to mount to your inner fender, The DUKES OF HAZZARD kicks a**!

useRc10 · 03-06-2004, 01:59 AM

i just got mine today...i need to figure out how i'm going to mount it...that bracket looks pretty good

1985K10 · 03-06-2004, 02:55 PM

The bracket is 16" from the fender out, 15" from the bracket to the fender well, and 10" to the firewall.
I can get more measurments/pics if needed.

79BIG10 · 03-06-2004, 04:19 PM

Make me want one now

It would fit Tootsie Roll for sure. Looks like an old truck Uncle Jesse would drive but with more under the hood.
