Don't know about the size of the nut, my horn button is still in tact so i don't wanna take the rubber off, but a standard snap-on style t-bar or 3 way puller should work. Where are you in So Cal? Nice lookin' truck!

Nut size: 1 1/4".
Apply WD40, unscrew nut just a few turns, DO NOT REMOVE, stand firm, rock st.wheel left/right while strongly pulling towards you. Gently hitting the nut with hammer and piece of brass also helps. Be patient, it will come loose!

Well, I got the old one off. That was fun. I tryed to use a regular wheel puller. It tore the shit out of the plastic around the base. So, I took a hammer ans screw driver and chiseled the rest away and then placed the puller on it. Bingo!
I got a new horn wiring kit from Saturn. I finnish it off today.

Thanks for everybodys imput!
