Anyway, enough said. I'll just have to keep trouble shooting it. If I do figure it outI'll post my findings to hep anyone else with the problem.

I know on autos made late 60's the directional switch harness also carried the horn circuit. And the directional canceling cam had the horn contact ring built on top of that.

Now if your truck is like that as the steering wheel gets turned or shift levers move they could cause a slight movement of that harness. And if that harness is bad it can then make the horn intermittent.
