A few questions on this, hope you don't mind my mini-thread jack

Gas tank sender to body.

Mine was previously just grounded right at the base of the gas tank in the cab through a screw that went into the cab floor. Is this correct?

Horn button (grounding causes horn to work).

What does the horn wire go to in the column? I got a new turn signal cup with wiring because my old one had been abandoned long ago, but it doesn't have a wire for the horn. So I tried to use the old horn wire but I think it is dry rotted and is grounding somewhere within the column so if that's hooked up the second I hook up the battery the horn starts blasting away. I even removed the horn button (the small part that goes inside of the steering wheel that creates the ground) and then later the whole steering wheel and it was still going off as soon as there was power from the battery.

Ingition switch (internal through housing)

If I'm just trying to use a key ignition, do I need an additional ground somewhere?

You also need to ground the engine, I prefer to run the wire up to the same bolt as the battery to cab.

Where on the engine do I connect the ground? I have located the starter ground which goes to a bolt down low on the cab, and my battery was previously ground to a bolt at the front of the engine head, but I can't for the life of me see anywhere that the engine itself may have been grounded except maybe through the motor mounts (using the mounts as the connection, there is no cable).

Cab and bed each need a jumper to the frame, rubber mounts isolate them electrically.

I can see where my bed was jumped to the frame, but I don't see where the cab was, is there a specific spot where that should be?
