Body Ground

Hey guys...I guess it's time to start whipping this truck back into shape after years of use, but maybe not quite abuse. I was reading another post and someone mentioned body grounds, and I remembered that I had one hanging around the pass side behind the front tire. It has since disappeared. Does anyone have a photo of what it looks like, or where it goes? I think I'm going to replace it. Thanks...Kevin

It's a flat braided copper strap with clips on the ends. It goes from the frame to the cab mount. A piece of #6 copper wire with terminals crimped on the ends and bolted to the frame and body will work also.

Never too many grounds. I've added a few in different places. Body, frame, etc.
