Double wall top question
 

I have a 71 double wall top. There are factory nuts riveted on the inside at the front and back of both side windows. What are they for?

Mine has a small plate with a large rivnut in it. It looks like the correct size and thread for a seat belt mount. I sure wouldn’t want to count on it for strength.

It may be meant to just hold the belt guide....?

Here is a photo of one of the nuts.

Mine has a plug there on each side. It's almost like some corporate guy asked, "Can we put three-point belts in these?" and some sarcastic engineer said, "Sure, go right ahead..."

Sounds pretty scary!

There's another pair in the rear. For backseat shoulder belts.
I have a bolt in it with a snapring on it, holding a canvas tool bag in the back of my Jimmy.

They are for the rare factory curtain rods

I’ve seen photos of 69-72 K5’s with lights in those spaces. Not sure if that was the intended use, or if lights were an option, but seems like a good spot for interior lights.

How rare was the hole for the optional back seat shoulder belt? I haven't seen them in many.

My CST has both sets.

My '71 Jimmy has them. I put a 3/8 bolt in the one on the rear driver's side, clipped a small carabiner on it and hang a chainbag for tools.
Guess you can only see the top of it in the middle shot. I will have to take a direct subject pic of the feedbag style canvas tool bucket.
On the passenger side, there's another bolt I use to tie on those mylar/air-bubble sunscreens.

I would guess they're there on all K/5s and K/1500 Jimmys.
