When I took over this project, aside from the battery cables there wasn't a wire on it. The previous owner had already removed it all. I had a harness made for the truck but there was nothing provided in the way of ground wires and nothing in their minimal diagrams. The neg cable from the battery connects to the starter on the 6-71 DD. I kmow I need to ground the cab and the frame and may even need to run a ground to the cowl as it is supported by rubber mounts to take the pounding of the road.
I did do a little searching and got a few ideas but since this is a little different vehicle than what's usually dicussed here I am throwing this out to the experts for suggestions on wire size/type and location ideas. Not concerned with factory look.
The only other thing worth mentioning is the taillights will be LED and from what I read, they will require additional grounds.
Thanks for any tips you may have.
Billy
