Dumb question- horn location?

[bigred88]

What is the standard location for the horns on a 79 K10? Mine don't work (haven't the whole time I've owned the truck), and I never poked around until now, and I couldn't find them with a quick look, which makes me think I just don't have any horns. That would explain them not working...

I'd also like to figure out where they should be so I can see what remnants of wiring I'm dealing with.

Yep behind grill! Mine suck. I want to upgrade to newer Silverado horns.

Thanks! That's what I figured. Mine are definitely not there. Weird. Don't know why anyone would just remove them. Haven't had a second to see if I have any wiring left. Not expecting much, I just finished cleaning up a bunch of absolutely miserable wiring, so I'm curious to see what the previous owner has left in store for me here...

I'll have to look at what some of the newer horns might cost compared to replacement for these, I'm buying them anyway so now's a good time to upgrade.

Sounds like my life right now. I thought I got a good deal on this 88 and I am doing nothing but fixing all the hacked up backwards crap the worthless previous owner did. I'm getting there slowly.
