Thinking my body grounds are shot so I am going to do some serious grounding tonight. Block to frame, frame to body, firewall to hood. Whatcha think?

Got it! Ran a 4 gauge ground from battery negative to fender, and another from starter bolt to a hole I tapped in frame. Instead of idling at 13.5 v it is now 14.4v! Never dipped below 13.5 on test drive and radio never cut out once...Go figure lol. Thanks for your input guys!
