Well, at least on my '87 5kcst, there bolt "sinks" or screws in flush with
a piece of metal between the outside plastic and another metal layer
inside.  I tried bending a piece of aluminum to make a U shaped bracket,
but I would have had to remove quite a bit of black plastic to get it to
fit.
I also don't feel comfy with leaving the bolt unscrewed so much...it's a
massive thing, and it just sorta says "I'm really important, don't mess
with me."

If I don't get any nice info on how to do this, I'll just give up and go
with the Molly mounts <sigh>

Tell me about it...they're not exactly easy to find(and listers who have a
spare, speak up)

Wicked.  Sounds like that will be the entry of choice.
