Radiator Support Ground Strap?

When I purchased my truck over 2 years ago one of the first things I noticed was a ground strap that was cut. I removed the clip and short 1/2" piece of strap that was attached to it, somebody had cut it clean off. I forgot about it and now want to replace it. If memory serves me correctly, it was clipped on to the radiator support ( I can't remember if it was driver or passenger side). Is this correct, and if so, where does the other end of it attach to? Thanks everybody!

Almost sure it is on the passenger side connected between the radiator support and the crossmember that looks like a skid plate for the steering linkage.

Having Radio static problems?
That is why the anti static ground strap was installed for.

you are correct but my crossmember had to be removed because it was damaged and it’s kinda redneck attached. Could I attach the ground onto my frame instead?
