What are these holes?

Are these holes just from previous people or for something?

Behind driver seat

In compartment under front seats

At bottom of spare tire well

since you asked........i had the same question the other day on my 59.....what are these holes? these are obviously factory, there is some type of internal reinforcement almost like it is meant to hold a large captive nut. passenger side on the rear hatch prop slide track.

this last one is from my buddy's 63 deluxe

I want to take a stab at this one.

I'm betting alignment jigs held on to channels and panels through those holes while the pieces were being thrown into the shape of the bus rear corner in production.

I do not believe they were meant as fasteners or anchors after the bus is assembled. But maybe had a benefit of venting cavities like the holes on the "B" pillars- right behind the driver's head.
