advance auto parts has one called the "el grande" that is cheap and has a nice sound to it. It is made by FIAMM which is who makes the factory ford horns.

When I bought my truck, the horn didn't even work. So at the junk yard I picked up two horns off of two different Super Dutys, I figured big truck = big horn. They are a dual tone horn and the best part about it was it was plug and play for one horn since the connectors were the same, and just spliced in the second. Don't get me wrong, its no train horn but it sounds pretty good.
