Never can have enough grounding in these old trucks. When they were new a lot of the grounding was done when the bolt to metal was still fairly new. With age, rust , dirt and moisture create high resistance to battery ground.

I used about 4 new ground strap on my 68 to eliminate gremlins in the rear tail lights and gauges.

I put a grnd strap from bed to frame, one from frame to cab, a new one on engine to cab, radiator support to frame. I may have used another one for good measure but don't remember where.
