Is there supposed to be a picture of them? Dual horns were a somewhat common accessory. Here is a set on a 49' with the correct relay.

A picture of another set off a 48' I believe, they have a Hi-Lo tone and each is marked as such.

There is detail on how to install these horns in the individual year Chevrolet Accessories Installations Manuals. If your looking for the 53 horn it is just one (Hi note) that installs to compliment the existing installed horn.

Well now after seeing your sets I may have gotten snookered on this pair. Mine look like a pair of squashed trumpets, lots of twisty pipe. Oh well they look neat anyway will give them a try.
And I do have the factory horn, been on this truck since new I believe, mounts on intake.
Many thanks guys.
Jim

I am hopeful someone else with a 53 may chime in as to factory fit, but I have seen at least a couple of 53 trucks that have a fender mounted small non-trumpet horn. This makes sense with the accessory horn being one mounted to the firewall? Here is a picture of a 53' I owned with this horn.

In 1953, the second sea-shell style horn (hi-note) truck horn was mounted on the front of the dash (firewall) on the passenger side (an inside reinforcement plate was provided with the accessory hi-note horn). A diagram and instructions are given in the 1953 Accessories Installation Manual.

In 1954/55st, the dual horns were mounted on the front side of the radiator housing/frame.
