K, Guys Sorry it took so long.

OK, finally got a camera, but i can't get far enough away from it to get good pics, so here goes. The tank was mounted on the passenger side at the front part of the bed inside the skin. We took angle iron and made a "frame" and bolted it to the pinch weld for the body. Right now the air source is via a tire valve and a Wally World compressor (Pretty neat one too, it shuts off at a user defined pressure up to 150psig. Costs $16). This is temporary until I get around to installing the York compressor.



The horn is mounted on the drivers side opposite the tank and is flat stock bent to allow the horns to sit up high in the skin. Amazing how much room there is up there. They stick down about 1. 5" below the frame. Ya can't see 'em unless your looking for them. Kinda cool no one suspects them on here, cuz you can't see 'em.



I run the whole system on 110 psi air. Nice and loud. You can't outrun 'em at 70 mph. Truckers give nods of approval when I sound off.

P. S. Sorry for the Dirt, haven't had time to wash the truck yet. So how mud got up between the skin and the bed, not sure how.

Here's a view of the bracket, not too good a shot, but I can't get far enough away to take a pic.

Horn Bracket. Remember these are 17" long, 11" wide and 11" tall. Chimes are 11" 14" and 17" Makes for a nice combo on 110psi.
