1980's Air Force deuce horn button

I have a 1985 M35a2c that needs a horn button. I saw there is an "old style" that's common and a "new style". Was the new style a replacement after the last AF deuce was made in 1989? or did the AF specify the old style horn button on their trucks? It was confusing when looking for a replacement.

Thanks

I have seen both types on early and late m35 trucks-- I think it was pretty much what was available when a replacement was needed. If you need one, I am pretty sure I have both types sitting in my parts stash. Give me a day or two and I will let you know for sure.

To clarify, the later style horn button is what would have been originally used (rubber "puck" with smaller center horn button held in with retaining ring), but when replacements were needed, they used whatever was available.......
