I thought 3... engine to cab, cab to frame, bed to frame. Am I missing anything? Saw that the 67 and newer have 5 total??? | | |

It was mostly for radio suppression. Some of the early 70,s had one under the air cleaner wingnut.

When I installed my AC/Heat unit, I needed to ground the blower motor and all I had to do was run a 5-inch ground wire to the firewall. Nice and easy.
