rear mounting on a pickup?

No problem. We're not stopping you from achieving your goal, but we are trying to make the most success out of everything in it, so you don't have to pay the price for something that you'd like to try.

Believe it or not, I have given thought to this same idea. But not to use as a horn...

I want to eventually get my hands on a Chrysler siren. Rather than to just stick it in one place, I would either mount it on a modified cargo trailer or on a 3-ton or bigger 1950s vintage cab & chassis truck.

But considering all common sense, I wouldn't permanently mount a siren in the back of a truck which I would have to drive regularly. If a siren is to be used in a daily driver, it would be best to get an old firetruck siren that runs on 12 or 24 volts. Any AC siren would require a lot of stuff to make it work, such as an invertor or generator cabable of 40 or 50 amps, and a phase converter if it's a 3-phase motor. But I give an A+ for creativity to Pyramid Head!

I like your idea of a trailered Chrysler which can be taken everywhere.
I'd sure love to get up close to see it and view it from all sides.

In typical top of tower or top of building installation, it would be rare to get to see one.

Well, with a trailered Chrysler, at least you would never have to deal with tailgaters.

Well, i am going to 100% ditch the whole idea. It is now that i understand these things were not meant to be in the back of a truck! also, i have a even better idea which would give me alot less trouble.

You could mount a gas-powered Thunderbolt on the roof of a van. But no one would want you to run it while going down the road.

not a safe or good idea to put a full size siren in a truck.
