Default Air Horn Questions

Im looking to install a air horn on my truck but dont want to put it on a switch or button. I'm wanting to put one on a lanyard(sp?) and was wondering if anyone has done this. If anyone has any pictures or info please post.

well there is a semi junk yard down in the town I live in and I was thinking of just going down there and taking everything I need off. The only problem is where to put the air horn valve that the lanyard hooks to. Does dodge have the small shelf under the headliner by the windshield for cab lights like the ford do because if they do I think I can put the valve in there and run it that way.

If it comes with a button it shouldn't be to hard to rig up a rocker arm that would push the button when you pull the lanyard. Might even be an easier way but I've never seen one up close to know.

Just mount the switch to the headliner with a rocker arm attached to the lanyard. Should look just like the big rig.

I use a Motorcycle Break 12V Pull Momentary Switch! I put on a CHAIN from ace hardware so it looks like an old school air horn puller!
