Question
Hello
My 1949 F1 truck is missing its horn. I have the horn and believe it mounts infront of the right of the radiator. I can not figure out how to install it. I have no brackets with this horn. I would appreciate a pic or deatiled instructions. Thanks so much!!

Answer
I know all about the Model A ford horn, but not yours.  If you are trying to restore it and want the exact brkt, then you have to keep looking.  Horn brkts are simple and just hold the horn in place.  Make your own brkt if that is all you need.  Or----find a Ford club and join it.  They will have all the answers.  Or go to a ford site and ask them.  Just google ford clubs, or ford V8 will take you to a bunch of good sites.  
Sorry I can't be of much help to you.
Good luck and have fun with that old ford.
