Last year I bought a power steering system from a vendor who said it was pulled out of an M818 tractor - to install into my 1985 M35A2C for power steering. The gear box is on the steering column, so it appears that it was originally from an M39 series of 5-Ton truck. I found a few references to the horn and power steering systems in 2320-211-20-3-1 and 2320-211-20-3-1 as well as in the 24p TMs. In other words, I did read the TMs before posting this question ![Very Happy :-D :-D](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
The steering kit showed up with no horn button assembly of any kind. I have a newer style 18" steering wheel, and I now need to figure out how to get the horn wired up. I know I'll need some sort of horn button kit. Ted from Real Custom Trucks is helping me with that. What I need to figure out is how to get a wire down through the steering column, and where it goes from there - where does it come out of the power steering column?
Here's a couple pics of the top of the steering gear box on the steering column in my M35A2C:

Here's a couple picks of my steering wheel in the cab:

What is the best way to get this horn wired back up? Any guidance you can provide is greatly appreciated.
