rear cab mounts questions

i just pulled my cab off for metal work, I noticed that the original rear cab mounts have nut and "holder" made into the floor pan. how ever on my new replacement floor pan there are no nuts or the weld in brackets to hold the nuts on there and the rear holes are not threaded either.
Can i just use a nut and washer when reinstalling and mounting the cab back on the frame for the rear mounts ? Or do i need to weld in those nut holders on the new floor pan?

Re: rear cab mounts questions

The only reason that GM used caged nuts is so one man could start and run the bolts down from under the truck. you can use any combination of nuts and bolts that holds the truck down safely.
