Thanks Nate. Yes these grounds are so important. Your call out of ".... cab/frame, bed/frame, front fenders/core support / frame to make all...
Relocated it to the right of the ignition switch, under the lower dash
I was looking through manuals etc for how the cab and frame were originally connected on the 47-54 Chevy pickup and didn't find anything. Anyone...
