Can someone tell me about this bolt behind the bench of my 1965 F100

I want to mount a sub box behind my bench seat and want to secure it with some type of strap. I have these bolts where my gas tank used to be.

Before I pull one out, can someone tell me what or if it is holding anything together since the gas tank has been removed.

I wanted to use it to secure the strap too but I am not sure if anything will loosen if I take it out.

Those hold the cab to the frame. Probably best not to remove it.
