There are some trad Ford gurus over on the sister site to this one: the ford barn. It was me, I would acquire a Ford shop manual for your year. Or, a facsimile thereof. There are some secrets to not mucking things up illustrations and pictures may reveal the advice of the novice might not cover. Also, there is a classifieds on that site with lots of NOS goodies.

There's a clip underneath the steering box itself. Remove the clip and the light switch will come off. You'll be able to pull the horn rod up, but it will depend on how much headroom you have as to whether of not it'll clear, but in any case, DO NOT BEND the horn rod. You may have to remove & lower the steering box from the frame. to get the needed clearance.
