Finally got a running 65 C10

[1low4x4]

Got the poppy’s patina gloss clear coat wiped on and I think it’s gonna look good when it dries. Def will stop it from rusting.

Have done nothing mechanical to it but gonna buy some spark plugs tomorrow at least lol

Stupid question that I'm not shy to ask cause its been a long time....main negative battery cable goes to frame rail? What about engine to frame or firewall? I dont think this truck had one...

Should have 3 grounds they can daisy.chain if you like. 1 to engine,1 to body 1 to frame. Some are going to tell you you have to have a braided one from cylinder head to firewall. I call B.S. as long as yoi have the other 3 grounds and they are good. Used to be only cars with factory installed radios got the firewall ground,for noise suppression. It does act as a body ground though if yours is sketchy. Personally I'd run battery to engine,jump from that same mounting point to the frame,and do battery to radiator support.

@Ricko1966 so you're saying

Two grounds from battery, one to rad support one to engine

One ground from engine to frame.

What gauge wire would you recommend?
