Cab Floor Question

This is in regards to my 75 F-100 standard cab.

I found two studs found near the rear seat mounts; on on each side of the cab. They didn't have anything attached nor did they have nuts or washers on them. They appear to have been installed deliberately by the factory but are not being used. What are these for?

I am trying to figure out if I should simply grind them off or if there is some nifty function they have which is not currently being employed.

Also, how do I go about getting the permissions to include pictures to show everyone what I am talking about?

If i'm thinking correctly its the long jack handle mounting bolts. Anyway I believe this to be correct because that was the way it was on my truck when I bought mine. Should have wing nuts and bracket to hold it from rattling.

Only paying supporters can directly attach files to posts, the rest of us have to upload our pics to an external hosting site (which can be your FTE Gallery or Album) and source 'em from there.

This should help you:

OK so here is the pic of the stud on the passenger side... If this is simply to hold a jack handle they are coming out. Thanks!
