I'm trying to electrically bond some of the body/bed/frame to improve my HF/VHF antenna performance. Has anyone found any good points on the bed to do this? I found the cab to frame ground straps and beefed them up a good deal, but I haven't found similar ones for the bed.

Just get one of those grounding kits off of ebay, they have like 8 or so different grounding points with heavy gauge wire, shouldn't need anymore than that. The kits are pretty cheap as well.

 

I make my own ground straps. Far cheaper and I know they work. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good ground screws on the frame/bed. By good ground screw I mean 1) not a structural/suspension screw and 2) electrically grounded.

It wasn't so much that you can't make your own, the kits have instructions on the best grounding locations. Maybe someone can help you, but grounding hasn't been a problem for most of us, at least it doesn't come up. Good luck and hopefully someone will have some advice for you.
