cant locate bed to frame ground
Found and changed all my grounds except the bed to frame one. Saw some pics on here that said it was behind the passenger tire. I have a long bed so is it still behind the tire. Any pics??
Thanks |

Re: cant locate bed to frame ground
What year is your truck? My 69 never had one. When I restored it I ran the ground from the rear cross member to the right frame rail. As a side note, my tail lights weren't working properly in the mid-70s, and the dealer immediately, without looking, told me to run a ground wire from bed to frame.

Re: cant locate bed to frame ground
Just ensure it is clean of paint/rust etc.. where it bolts up.
