This ground strap hooks up where?

You can see it bolted to the firewall just above where the clutch rod boot is. This is a 70 K10. It was never hooked up on this truck. It is longer than the one on the passenger side. Thanks.

On my 69 there is a bolt hole behind the head where it attached to. Should be bolt hole on the front and an identical in the backside.

Thumbs up Re: This ground strap hooks up where?

I've always used the valve cover bolt on that side.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: This ground strap hooks up where?

Thanks, guys. I will go with the valve cover bolt. The passenger side ground was still hooked up when I pulled the original engine, bolted to the back of the head, like alot of you guys said. Hopefully I will see if this thing is going to run by tomorrow.
