    What's the best way to ground the cab to the chassis (since the chassis is already grounded to the neg side of battery)?

    I've looked at several spots but not seeing how it was done originally.

    Multiple places, front and back. Ground the bed also. Doesn't matter where, just make shure it is clean metal to metal contact.

    Does not the big front bolts and other cab lashing to the chassis do the trick? I had thought that there was plenty of grounding. Well, of course, not taking into account all of the rust, tar, mud, junk, grease, oil and space dust that might be grabbing at the bodies of 60 +/- year olds.

    You can NEVER have TOO MANY grounds.

    Curious .... where did these cabs get ground when first made (came off the assembly line?) I've looked through the assembly manual and haven't found any indications.
