Original Blazer Owners: Grounding Strap Location and Number

My brother (bigdon-70blazer) and I have been trying to figure out the location and number of grounding straps for his K5 restoration. I have 3 on my 69 C-10. one on the left rear head to cab, one on the right rear head to cab, and one on the passenger inner front inner fender to the frame.

can someone check thier locations under the hood and if there are any more from the body to the frame, etc?

thanks gang!

Re: Original Blazer Owners: Grounding Strap Location and Number

I had Doug ask this question because I have 4 of these. I found the locations for 3, 2 on the firewall to the back side of the engine block (got a good pic of that) and one on the underside of the passenger side rocker box, got pic of that but did not get a pic of the last location, sometimes that happens! Please help.

Re: Original Blazer Owners: Grounding Strap Location and Number

Here are the pics of the ones I had. 1 on each side of the engine and 1 on the rocker box passenger side bottom. I can not remeber where the fourth one goes. Does it go on the radiator support somewhere? Please help and thanks!
