Air Horns On A M-37?

Hello Crew.
A great Friend of the Family found and donated a set of air-horns to the Powell Family.
I'd like to install then on Lori's M37 but need to ask a few questions.
Anybody able to recommend an electric 24 volt mini air compressor??
Also, any idea of the max air pressure I should run to these horns??
They look to be off a Military vehicle but I ain't got a clue from where.

Hi Tim,
Those appear to be off a Deuce and 1/2. I can't recommend a compressor or the recommended PSI but plan to install a civvy set of air horns on mine-so tired of idiots slashing in front of me when they're making turns, etc.
Just my 2 cents,
Gary

Hey Buddy.
I guess we're in this project together. Loud horns save lives!

Tim you are going to need one or two reserve air tanks otherwise a small compressor will not have enough flow volume to make the horns work properly.

You can get 12 and 24V steel fluted air horns for a reasonable price, easier to install and still more than loud enough to destroy the underpants cleanliness of most bad drivers...

Hey Guys.
As far as the reserve air tanks I figured a set off an old rig. Plenty of those sitting around.
Guess I never thought about 24 volt electric, I knew they made 12 volt trumpets.
I'm sorta' falling behind on my production again. Anybody ever had a "bad day" in the shop?
That said, a bad day in the shop is still better than a good day at work!
Freightliner broke down last week on the road.
