Grounding Straps

anyone have a source for grounding straps? I will have the negative battery cable grounded to the block, but I was advised to have at least 1 additional strap grounded from the block to the frame as well. LMC does not list these.

Any pointers for me? How do you have your truck grounded

Thanks
Jake

Re: Grounding Straps

You can also make yourself a set- I have used 10ga wire with crimped and soldered ends in any length.
