Can anyone tell me how many ground straps I am suppose to have on a 65 with V8? 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???

I would go Battery-Negative to engine block ... Battery-Negative to frame ... engine block or frame to firewall.

if you're running an electric fan @ the radiator, that would be another - radiator support frame to chassis frame.

A lot of mid 60,s had extra ground straps from the engine to the firewall. It was mostly for radio suppression. Some of the early 70,s had one under the air cleaner wingnut.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

It also provides an easy way to ground anything you add under the dash.

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.
