This is the part I remembered.

Cowl to Hood Ground Strap.

My memory is that it was at the front end of the hood. Mounted on the radiator crossmember. 1960s & 1970s

www.oldparts.com

Part search says 1-3 used. Front and/or rear of hood. Usually broken off or lost. (Note teeth).

Hood
Tailgate
Doors

may all benefit as jumping only the hinges is less than ideal for adequacy. That radiotelephone installation may have had more added.

I’m thinking two for each of above. Jump each hinge, and then these at opposite end.

Pickup truck turbodiesels really do have one thing in common with big trucks, and that’s Big Exhaust Pipe. Something like this “could” work both there and with driveshaft where replaceable woven braid is a wiper.

The other detail I remember is that the strap was copper-ish. Like a wash or coating. But definitely steel as a spring quality.

Was more of a C-shape. The above is a Datsun part (I think).
