Where are the correct locations for the ground straps?

Thanks

I believe they were not all installed in the same locations as they went down the assembly line at the factory, ie; some ground straps were installed on the left side of the truck and viceversa... but from what I understand there should of been one on the rear valve cover bolt (closest to the firewall) on the outside of the pass. side head going to the firewall, one for the cab that goes from pass side frame rail (on the outside of the frame rail) to the floorboard, and the one that goes on for the box I just kept it on the same side of the frame rail that I used for the cab except it was towards the end of the frame (of course). Im sure some of the experts on the board will add input and possibly add some pics. Hope this helps, Regards Doug
