I remember seeing a thread about it a while back. Someone had some HUGE horns attached the the frame of their truck. Do a search. I think fldmax or something like that had one.

If you're thinking something along the lines of Train Horns, Then you're at the right place. If I remember correctly, Hoot started it and many others have followed. Doing a search on Train Horns should net you some info.

Where can you buy them. I think I saw some K3s for around $600. Is that about right? Seems like a helluva lot for some horns. I would definitely love a set.

Ok, i want to get the K3. What places do I have to choose from to mount these horns? I see where i can mount the air tank, but not the horns themself. any suggestions? Would you suggest getting the K3's on ebay or off that website?

I've been wanting to put a set of K3s on for years. I just couldn't justify spending $600+ to do it. $600 will get you some more useful goodies than the satisfaction the occasional blast of the air horns would give. Although :rolleyes: , watching someone crap their pants can be satisfying sometimes. ):h

I'll have to wait till I come across a set at a flea market or somethin'. $600 is a lot of money, but I am sure it would be worth it!

Would you suggest getting the K3's on ebay or off that website?You can mount them on inside the driver's side frame rail pointing at the drive shaft Hoot has some pics. dave

I put LG's on mine. Bought them on e-bay for less than 300 bucks. Mounted them between the bed frame and the body at a 45 degree angle. Mounted the compressor on the frame under the passenger side. LOUD!!!!! And a lot of fun. They sure make people smile IF you're not too close to them.

What kind of horns have a deeper bellow? I"m going to put a different horn on and don't want a high pitched toot toot. I want a sort of vibrating booop booop sound.
