Hood latch marking and odd horn??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**wancosc356** · 02-21-2010, 09:11 PM

So I got a half of a 68 front clip for some parts the other day and I am not familiar with a few things. Maybe someone can help me out here.

First is this marking on the hood latch. I have never seen one with this marking or any marking on it. Any ideas or input?

And second is these horns. I have seen dual horns and the ones I have seen are both the same size and shape. I am curious if these are factory or what. I know the smaller one is but the bigger one is something I haven't seen before. Any ideas or input?

I've no idea on the latch stamp. The large horn looks like one from the late fifties maybe.

I would have to look at my horns closer but the large one looks like it could be a '57 or '58 Chevy horn.

when guys wanted a loud horn back then , we used to get horns in the junkyard from older cars that were 6volt systems that made for a very loud horn that you could scare people with

VERY interesting... I've never heard of this. Did the horns end up burning out or anything?

yeah mike that looks like mid 50`s chevy car horn, is there any markings on it? So with all your parts have, you started piecing together a truck yet so I can go help build?

**wancosc356** · 02-22-2010, 05:48 PM

Interesting. I didn't look for any markings. I'll go check.

Haha. Your funny Mike. I've still got plenty of parts to hunt for.
