Re: Ground on the motor
interesting. I'd like to know too!
I just connected it all using thick copper wire: - chassis - cabin - engine - battery

Re: Ground on the motor
I can't speak for the newer models, but my 68 had a web grounding strap on the passenger side cab floor support to the frame. It had a similar strap frame to engine block.

Re: Ground on the motor
Maybe I should have said braided ground strap. I have an 89 1500, a 68 C10, and an 83 K5 Blazer. They tend to run together in my head. The braided straps are on my 89 under the hood. The 68 has a braided strap under the cab to the frame.

Re: Ground on the motor
Motor: strap from fuel pump to frame, intake/exhaust manifold to cab, alternator bracket to frame. All work good. Choke should have it's own to cab.
