The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay Grounding Strap (engine to frame) - none on my 51 GMC

Hey Guys,

I have an interesting one for you. The other day, I was looking for an electrical part for my `51 GMC 281-22 series. On the website's page, they had pictures and descriptions of their parts. As I was scrolling down, I came across an engine to frame grounding strap--those flat, braided, metallic straps. Then it hit me: I don't have any on the truck. Previous owner(s) must have let them fall off or took them off.

So, just how serious is that? And, if I bought some, how many would I need? Where exactly do they mount?

Thanks!
Mike
