It may ground the same way …( if it’s even required .) this pic is from my 73 before I put in the radio delete plate and I don’t recall if there was a ground wire attached to that metal bracing the support bracket attaches to….thats part of the dash… check that brace on the dash see if a grd on it….from what I remember the dash itself grounds via the attaching bolts I believe to the body….
