    That would be me!  =p  I found the plugs in a auto body supply 
store.  I cant remember the exact name of the plug, but it is basically
a plug with a quarter inch shaft with black fins on it that make it so
once you press it into a hole, its tuff to take it back out.  ER, wait,
found the bag for the plugs!  Facia retainers for 3/16" hole, Ford
803170.  
If you dont find that exact one, look for Facia retainers.  I am
guessing
its the style of the plug.  HTH!

    I dont think they did.  I think the horn is on the same circuit as
the back up circuit.  at least in my 79 it is.
