Up for grabs is my 4 flute Whistle!! I got this on ebay about 1-1/2 years ago and had it on my truck for about a year or so… It was only hooked up to 3/8" tubing via a GW clone metering valve @ 140 psi max…
Here is a video i took of it… It has a great sound to it i think and would probably be even better at a lower psi and 1/2" pipe or larger tubing to feed it … It has a 1/2" inlet on it.
It was on my truck thru a winter so it did have a bunch of patina on it which you can still see in the center parts of the flutes, but it came off with ease on the outter with naval jelly… A little bit of elbow grease and it will shine! I bet if you had a bench grinder and a buffing wheel that could get in the middle , it would look great! Truth be, i have no time to do it… I have a k3la going on my truck and really have no more need for this or room Plus i’d like to recoupe some cash to support the airchime install… :eek:
Heres a bunch of pics… Any questions please let me know , but i am pretty firm on a price of $55 plus shipping … I think that is fair since it is less than i paid for it … I take paypal only - thanx for looking!
one port on a 12 gallon tank? that seems strange… but anyway how bout putting a T off the port , run 1/2" line to your cab, hook up a ball valve, then out to the whistle…
I have the GW clone in mine , and the way i had it set up was only 3/8" line feeding the valve then i made a manifold up and had 2 shut offs on there so i could choose horns or whistle… it worked great! heres a pic
I had it mounted in my grill , Ziptied to the radiator support which actually runs on an angle… I dont have a picture of it mounted tho…
Heres a pic showing how i had it .
The orange area is where it was strapped to . I only had it running on 3/8" line so it gave a higher pitch… Which still sounded good… With 1/2" line i think it would sound amazing.

Ewreck65 has first dibs… I will give him to mid week (28th …) to let me know if he has $$…
Glad you posted pics of your manual valve installed cause now I have a question for ya!
I’m installing the same valve in my truck and I see you have yours bolted to the console. Is it sturdy mounted there? I want to install mine the same way but have concerns with it not being strong enough for me to pull on the handle, it seems the valve is pretty tight.
Sry to bust in on your sales thread man! Looks like you at least have it sold a few times tho!! LOL
The way i mounted it was put the bolts thru and i have some 1-1/2" fenderwashers behind it to support it… It was sorta a quick install of it… It is strong, not as strong as i would like it to be… I actually want to run a piece of steel from the seat bolts up to there to give it additional support. On the inside of the counsel , there wasnt much room for hands or tools in th spot that the bolts are but it works… If i have tome this coming week when i do my k3 install i will hopefully make it stronger.
Thanks. I was thinking of bending a steel plate and bolt that to the floorboard and then bolting the valve to it. Or I may take a look at my console closer and maybe sandwich the console between two small steel plates that I can drill and bolt through.
Plus i’d like to recoupe some cash to support the airchime install… :eek:
I will send you a pm also…
