Where on these trucks (63 specifically) would the grounding strap be located from the cab to frame???

Usually found between the firewall and engine then the engine is grounded to the battery and frame.

thanks, isn't there one that is below the cab around one of the cab mounts???? I know my 68 has one from the cab above the passengers front cab mount which connects to the frame directly below it. None of those on a 63???

I have never seen a ground strap directly between the cab and frame on any of the 15-20 trucks I have worked on/parted out. Only thing I have found is the strap between motor and body.
