1970 Pace Car Body Off - Plug or Bushing?

I am preparing to remove my 1970 442 Pace Car convertible's body off of the frame and on to a rotisserie in a few weeks. In preparation I have removed 8 of the 10 body bolts so far.
There are two remaining and they are both the ones by the door strike area on each side and they seem to have a rubber plug sticking out, unless it is part of the bushing and there is no bolt there.
Does anybody know what I am referring to?

If you're doing a frame off you really should get an assembly manual. I'm fairly sure those are pucks, not bolted mounts, but the assembly manual will tell you for sure.


You can find the assembly manual here:

And BTW, there are at least one more set of pucks too. I think they were over the rear wheels

When i re-did my '65 442 one of the mounts had a hole in but no bolt, seems like you never know what you might find, good luck on your frame off.

I see now that they are pucks and not bushings with bolts thru them. Inline and Parts Place shows them clearly in their body mount pics.
I guess my car is disconnected and ready for lift off!
Thanks for your help.
