My '99 Chevy pickup gives me a huge shock (1/2 inch arch!) when I get out and touch the door.

Just curious if anyone else has experienced severe shocks (not from ignition) from any vehicle and what was the root cause. I do have a bank of lights out in the dash and have considered stray voltage (12 volts?) of some sort, or maybe a bad ground strap? My biggest fear is making it to the gas cap and kaboom! I have tried "Static Gaurd" spray which only works for a day. thanks, "Sparky" Bill
