Well the other day some moron knowingly walked out onto the road right in front of me and my horns just were not enough to make him crap his pants so I decided I need train horns. Whose got them? Where are you guys mounting the horns and compressor? Anyone have pics?

Ebay has a lot of kits for sale.
As far as pics, do a search on DP, there are quite a few guys that have them as well as installation info in the DIY Section IIRC.

I recently installed some, I originally had a 1.5 gallon tank, but promptly changed to a 5 gallen tank. I paid right at $300.00 on ebay for mine. One thing to remember, the kit does not come with enough parts to get the job done correctly. I also installed some quick release fittings to the tank so Now I have onboard air for airing up tires or anything else you could use air for. I used a couple of relay's in the wiring, now I have a switch so the horns train horns blow when I press the factory horn button, or I flip a switch and only the facory horns work. I mounted my horns on a plate under the passenger side of the bed near the rear window, they sit above and to the side of the drive shaft/exhaust pipe, kinda a bitch to mount by yourself, but doable (wear safety glasses). The compressor and air tank is mounted in my toolbox. If I get a chance i'll post pics later.

More wires and switches huh Larry?
You need to buy yourself a local box and install it with some DIN Rails for breakers and relays and mount it under your truck and supply it with power and ground from your batteries. That's ALOT of connections you got now!!

I was thinking the next project would be duel alternators, a third battery and a good distribution block :D
