Default Rear Grounding Point

Does anyone know where the rear wiring harness is grounded? My assembly manual shows the tail lights grounded to a body connector. Is there another ground aft of this connector? I searched the net as well as the forum stickys without luck.

Your rear harness is grounded through a single screw on the bottom of the dash cross brace just left of the radio.

Yep, not much of a ground but I'm guessing it made assembly much easier on the line. I ran a ground from each outboard tail light stud to a hole on the end of the frame just to make sure, a foot of wire and 4 ring connectors plus a couple of small bolts is all it takes and it's not visible. I've heard of too many gremlins that were attributed to bad grounds
