The previous owners clipped these wires and attached wires to a double horn mounted on the passenger side firewall. I would doubt the original horn would be mounted on the manifold like a half ton (you would be sitting almost on top of it in a COE!!).
Does anyone know where the original stock horn was mounted and how long were the wire leads from the harness itself?? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 54 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 54 | Post PM me your email address and I'll send you a picture of the horn on my '50 GMC COE. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | Most of the COE's I've owned have had the horns, in one of two different locations. Some had the horns mounted to a bracket at the top of the upper radiator panel, & some had the horns mounted to the right side of the firewall. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Nice link, Spanky.
Do you have a link to a similar diagram for a 54/55 GMC COE (350 model, for example)?
Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for the link!! That picture answers the question I had about standard horn placement on a COE,
