Does your cigarette lighter work? They are on the same fuse. I'd start there.

Check the fuses if ok
Use a test light and press the horn button and see if you have power to the horns.
If you have power, the horns have failed or have a bad ground.

^20 amp sounds about right.
You need to figure out what CAUSED the original fuse to blow, so you don't end up blowing it again or causing the truck to burn down.
And we want more pictures of that old beast.

sounds like there was no fuse in the holder at all. if he is using a 15 amp the fuse should blow long before the truck tries catching fire.

That sounds good. So, what did you have done to the exhaust, new mufflers and pipes or just mufflers, and what kind and size?
