i use seatbelts ALWAYS
one of the best grounds you can find
the bolt goes straight to the frame
The newest thing which i might try to do is ground from the battery's grounding point...can eliminate ground loop and noise. I might try it soon. That would be a ground wire ran through the cab onto the neg bat terminal

it's actually not recommended that you bother grounding an amp back at the battery. not only is it a waste of wire.. but grounds shouldn't be longer than 18" or so.. the shorter, the better. your battery is grounded to your chasis.. as is any grounding point you will make (assumming it's a successful ground). there's no need to run a ground all the way back to the battery.
