Ray,
My '72 has the threaded holes, as well, but no plastic plug. One of
the two holes is empty, and the other has a large chromed bolt
screwed into it. Actually, bolt isn't the right word, because the
"head" is domed and quite attractive. I think this is what the seat
belts originally hooked over. I've gone down to the junkyard to get
a matching bolt, but most of them are already taken.
