Very important point there. When doing the FI on the '63, I noticed that there were no grounds except for the one from the negative cable to the core support and where the negative cable terminated on the frame. Ended up buying an assortment of braided ground straps from Summit in order to ground the cab to frame, bed to frame, and a big ol' one from the engine to frame. I think it does help make a clean path to ground avoiding the possibility of voltage "seeking" a way through less desirable paths .
