Captured nuts on top of driver's side frame rail

I was wondering if anyone knew what the two approximately 3/8" captured nuts in the top of the frame rail just aft of where the steering gear box bolts on are for? Something must mount there - but what? A friend at work also has a 68 and he has them too.

Clutch Z-bar pivot bracket.

Okay, that makes sense now. Both my friend and I have automatic cars, so the nuts don't get used. Thanks MS.
