I had a set of Hella air horns mounted behind the top grill on my old 82 Diesel.  Just make sure you mount them facing down so they dont collect water.  They worked great and were loud and sounded really good.

If it was six horns that would likely be "Sunny" the Haywood
Sullivan Syncro:

The original post actually ruled this out as too much work.
