Factory Air Horns

Angelo Voltura
As part of the content dump Gary and I are working on (I managed to score some juicy information on our trucks), I never knew these trucks could be had with factory air horns. In fact I've never seen one. Anyone have a setup? I'd love to see one.


I'm sure this will be added to the documentation later on, but here's some pics.

This post was updated on .
I have seen some Ford "factory" horns installed years back, actually they are Hadley "Bully" horns with the "Hadley" sticker removed and a "FORD" sticker applied.
You can still get Hadley Bully horns today.

Angelo - I've created a new page: Documentation/Accessories/Air Horns.  But, I took the opportunity to show you how different approaches to getting the pictures.

I right-clicked on the two pics you posted, the one of the part numbers and the one of the illustration.  And I cropped them to display only the info pertinent to our trucks.  And you'll notice that the pics are somewhat blurry.

Then I went to my MPC and pulled up those two pages.  On the part numbers I zoomed in to 200% and then used the snipping tool to capture the same info that's in your pic of the part numbers.  You can see the difference as that approach makes it much sharper.  But on the illustration I "printed" it to a picture at 600 dpi and then cropped it.  It is also sharper than yours, but there's not as much difference.

Last, I then extracted those two pages into separate PDF's, cropped them, and embedded them on that page.

See what you think.  Note that on the pdf's you can actually highlight and copy the text.

The air horns are featured in the 1986 Accessories catalog, found under the Documentation drop down menu, and under the Literature tab.

They may be in the 1980 version as well, but I cannot check as it is on the way to Oklahoma.

I checked out that page, the resolution looks fantastic! I find you''ll probably be doing that a lot since most of what I have are like the original pictures.

I'm sorry, but there are three different "resolutions".  Which one(s) look fantastic?  (I'm thinking you mean the embedded PDF, but you didn't say.)

Yes, embedded pdf's are the sharpest way to get the info on the site.  Having said that, there are a lot of times when I want to quickly post a pic in a thread of a schematic or whatever, and having posted the EVTM's as images I can right-click the schematic, choose Copy Image Address, and paste that into the "Or copy an image from the Internet:" part of Insert Image.  Works really well, but you have to make sure the code you paste in ends with jpg.  Sometimes I've edited the image and Weebly sticks a number on the end that has to be taken out.

Anyway, I'll go back and clean up that page and just leave the pdf's.  Just wanted you to see what happens when you do things like copy a pic from the internet.

Got the email, processed the file, and replied.

I've played with many different ways to present the info on the website, and have found that doing a screen grab from a zoomed-in pdf is pretty good.  But the best is the pdf itself.
