710K radio table support struts question.

Good afternoon. I have what may be a silly question. How do you get to the lower nuts below the floor/shelf that the table supports rest on? My truck didn't have the struts installed. There are bolts in the holes. That just spin but won't back out. I really hope that aren't captive nuts in the frame channel that have broken free. I thought they would be in the corner of the fuel tank box, but no.
Thanx much
Jim

I've never had to remove the struts on my K Table so not absolutely sure.
But I would bet these are captive nuts given all the other body locations
that are. Rivnuts could be your best friend.

Those are nutserts/rivnuts and yes, yours are spinning.

If you just want the bolts out, sometimes I've had success using a pair of vise-grips on the bolt and pulling up while turning CCW. It's hit or miss on success.

Thanks for the info guys. I was afraid of spinning rivnuts. They are in the open, so easy to cut or drill the bolts out. Any idea what size they are for replacements?

Every piece of hardware is specified in the parts book. I would recommend finding one if you are going down the rabbit hole of renovation.
