Starter Ground Wire?


On my 64 223, I noticed a short cable that is bolted to the passenger side frame, approx 8 inches or so long. It seems to be within reach of the starter. Is this supposed to be a ground cable for the starter that I arbitrarily attach it to one of the mounting bolts that it will reach?

Mmk. Thanks.

There have been several other parts on the truck that I've completely removed so far that a previous owner unnecessarily had on here and didnt know if this might be another one of those.

Yep just looks like an engine ground to chassis.

It’s annoying when previous owners add trash to the trucks that don’t need to be there.
