Not sure if there is one....liek it would make sense to have one But mine doesn't. The engine being grounded and moutned to the frame pretty much grounds out the whole truck.

The engine grounds to the battery at the front of the motor to a bolt around the alternator.

The body ground is on the passenger side of the motor to the body to a hole around where the heater hoses going into the cab.

Hope this answers your question.
If you need a picture let me know and I will shoot you one of my Bronco.

The neg cable comes off the batt and about half way down the inner fender it bolts to the body than to the engine. If the cable is not factory it will be missing the body ground.

Best bet is to make sure that the front clip, tub, and engine are grounded together. I've run a 10 awg stranded wire from the engine to both points.
