When I got my ’41 Chevy ¾ ton there was a web type ground strap running from the negative terminal of the broken 6 volt battery to one of the transmission cover bolts. However I have never found a ground strap from the engine to the frame or body. And I have never found a ground strap from the body to the frame. I have redone all of the electrics including all new wiring, and everything seems to work fine.

Is / are there supposed to be engine and body ground straps?? I have not had the truck on the road and am worried that with a little bouncing around whatever is currently grounding the engine and body might go away or become intermittent.

If there are supposed to be connecting straps where were they originally??
