Pinzgauers are negative ground.
Remember the battery cutoff switch interrupts the ground circuit. if you ground any thing directly to the battery you are potentially defeating the system. there is also a relay in the cutoff circuit that is intended to temporarily maintain the circuit in the event the battery cutoff switch is switched off when the engine is still running to prevent alternator damage.
Did any of that make sense?

Yes negative is grounded, however not by a single ground strap directly to the chassis as would be done with most vehicles.

Actually only the negative post of one battery is grounded - its a 24vdc system.
