Correct ground strap location(s) for a SWB 67-72 C10?
1971 SWB, rear leaf springs, steel bed
I'm having the frame powder coated and would like to account for all ground locations beforehand. This truck didn't have a bed strap when I started the rebuild. Could be why the reverse lights didn't work.  I'm aware of the other strap locations.Speaking for my LWB C20 beater (steel bed), the strap hole for the bed is on top of the frame below the LH bed perch. It's a 5-7" strap (forgot to look and it's COLD  ) Anyway, I can't say if the C20 is right, but the frame for my C10 doesn't have a hole below either bed perch. Image/description would be great. Thank you.

I don't have the "smiley face" holes for reference. I didn't have those exhaust hangers, and I don't have that hole for a ground strap either. If that's between the two rear cross members, that hole I referenced in the OP is in the same area, only mine is approx. 8" further rear. Post 39 is interesting, he doesn't believe the beds were grounded. He might mean steel beds, which I failed to mention that mine has the steel bed.
