    Nice. I'll get a pic tomorrow to show where mine are. I wanted to keep my spare, but I do have my compressor for my airbags above it. OP, if you mount them in a spot where water/mud might be an issue, you can buy/make shields for them. I have to remake a set for mine.
    It's kind of funny that the original horns in my '40 are louder than the air horns on my truck. 6v dual trumpets running on 12v= bleeding ears.

    I think you can still have your spare in the original location and still have the air horns. I was able to mount 1 long horn behind the grill.

    look between the spare tire and the cab under the bed too. I think there is enough room in that location as well.

    You can it was just a lot easier for me to do it that way.
    Got this from the Hornblaster website.

    I don't have any real input for the thread other than another vote for Hornblasters. Buddy of mine has them on his Cummins. Impressive horns. I ran some eBay king kong or something like that on my old silverado, and they weren't even close to being in the same league.

    Post pics/videos when you get them installed!

    These are mine. A little dirty, but they work great and are loud. I will be making caps for them soon. I have pulled them off to check for water/debris in them, other than a bit of dust, there wasn't any.
