Wait, I thought you needed a Hi horn? I do have a working pair but wouldn't mind having a working set for another vehicle. But if somebody else really needs it I can pass.
I have one small lo that works & a hi that don't. If you're really sure you want to send it I would be more than happy to pay the shipping.
Is your hi the small one? That would fit in a USPS $12.35 medium flat rate box. Have to take the brackets off a long horn to fit in the medium flat rate box.

Tom I found a good Hi horn on Ebay and bought it. Works good. I will post my lo horn in the For Sale section for free and see if anyone needs it. If I don' t get a taker in one week then it is yours for free. I will even ship it to you for free. Do you happen to know anyone that has a Ranchero with stock bumper jack and spare tire installed behind the seat? I have been looking high and lw fr either a picture/diagram or description as to how they are installed. Thanks.

Opps, I got mixed up there. I thought you were offering a Hi horn.
I musta been high myself!

Nope, sorry. Only guys I know of that have Rancheros are on this board.
Found a pic here but it ain't gonna tell you anything that you don't already know.

Several people here must have a 57 owners manual. I did a search & see that Jim Nolan does have one. Maybe you could send him a PM & see if he will post a pic here. There are some 57 owners manuals on ebay.

Tom, thanks for the picture. I have a 57 owners manual but there is no info in the manual about storing the jack in a Ranchero.

Bill...I found the factory diagram for the Ranchero spare mounting. It is in the Body, trim and sealant manual. It also has the wagon diagram (and yes, there is a spring on that setup) I'll try to scan them and get them posted before I leave tommorrow. If not, I'll post them saturday.

Thanks, Bill, but no sense in wasting your time & money. I want to get a high, not a low.

You should just hang on to it for now, somebody will need it sooner or later. If it comes all the way up here it may never make it back down there. I'd just keep it 'till I die & someone will throw it away.
