You can still use air horns. Buy one of those on-board electric compressor kits they sell for the Ride Rite or Air Lift air bag suspension kits, and use that to power your air horns.
It was a finite source of air, since he only ran the compressor on jobs, but he got a few blows out of the small compressor tank between runnings and it was good enough for his minimal use of the horn. One could do the same by filling up an air tank at home and keep in truck to run horn.
I had an Ah-Oooo-Gah air horn on my old baja Bug. The horn had it's own built in electric compressor. It worked fine and sounded good, just wasn't super loud. I think I got it at Pep Boys or one of the other auto parts stores.
