    I gt that TPV put in today. Does anyone know a contortionist I can call next time I need to do that? Not enough room in there for my big butt.
    It solved my problems. I had been blowing air out the trailer line.

    I thought this truck had a single horn on it but after getting up there and looking you won't believe what I found. I really need to get a picture. there is an air line sticing through the roof on the passenger side with a screw stuck in it and silicone in all the holes..... :biggrin_25513: I can't win.

    What I think I'm fong to do is buy a set of horns off ebay and mount them to the the frame under the passengers door since there is no air tank there. Then I willget the fiberglass out and patch up all the holes in the roof, pull the lights off, sand and paint the roof then get 7 new markers (2 more then stock) and mount them up top. Getting the horn out of there will clean it up a bunch.

    I like this thread medicine man. I just have to ask are you to have them sound traditional or regular style? Better yet, have them sound like 60's old pete. Keep the update and btw, wth a glider kit?

    Your confused bud

    A glider kit is a truck with no motor, trans or axles you can buy and put your old stuff in.
