Simple Question: '59 Apache Horn Installation

Anybody got a picture on how these are mounted under the hood? Bought the truck without them and picked up everything later on, but I honestly cannot see how these are attached. Looks like it might need to be between the radiator and the driver's side headlight, but nothing looks exactly "right" and I can't find anything in the handbook/catalogs. Scoured the boards and haven't seen any clear photos on mounting. Thanks.

Mine is mounted on the driver side using the top-most bolt that holds the radiator on. Wish I had a picture for you, but I'm at the office and the truck is home.

Re: Simple Question: '59 Apache Horn Installation

FAM does not show 58-59 front clip. It shows the 55-57 mounted to the top of the radiator support towards each end but not like Magicoolbus's. My truck never had a horn so I can't be much help. The ones I have will work using the upper rad mounting hole like Gator's, I think I pulled them off of my old 62 engine donor truck.

Andrew_K..Did you get a photo of the horn installation? If not, I can email you the installation ns from my book. What is the model number on the passenger side? I know the driver side number is 347. Thanks.

Did you happen to buy this from a man in Smithfield VA about 15 years ago?
