The attached pic is of the upper Trunk Lid Strut Mount on my 65 Cuda. Does anyone know if the threaded stud shown is welded in, or can it be knocked back out of the hole in the flange? There's a larger flat disc on the back side and it's hard to tell how it's held in. I have banged on it a little with a hammer, but don't want to bend anything if it's welded. Thanks!

Very similar bolts on the radiator support for the latch assembly..Just removed some and the where welded in .
 
Must be a real early '65 as they went to the "spear gun" in most of '65 instead of the earlier ratchet. I don't recall them being threaded. I thought they just had a clip on cap to hold the ratchet.

Hi. Appreciate your input. It seems a variety of configurations were used depending on build time. I think I'll just saw it off and carbide drill it out. Have a good day and thanks again !
