engine to cab ground

I have looked and looked for images of where the ground goes to the cab on a 66 f100 2wd had a 240. The p.o. never had one on it when I got it. I have read that it goes from the drivers side head to the cab near the throttle cable bracket. I can't find any pictures. I just like having things in their proper location. Anyone have a good picture? Thanks!

That would be correct. Slightly above and inward of the throttle cable.

Thanks for the photo! The 66 have a little different throttle cable bracket. I will have to see if that bolt is there.

Send it to me and I’ll post it. We’ve emailed back and forth before but let me know if you need it again.

Took this photo 2.5 years ago before I took it all apart. My 63 with inline 6 223 had the ground here.
It was fairly stock from what I can tell but who knows.

I remembered that TVLIFTCABINET had posted some good pics of a clean truck he had - I believe he has since sold this one.

Troy, I see the ground cable on the lower bolt of that black bracket - is that like yours?
