It wouldn't have made a difference were it fell out, honestly. I've seen so many 90's and 00's trucks (of all makes) driving around with literally half of their cab mounts rotted and gone, it’s ridiculous. Even if the bolt fell out while going 70mph down a rough ass section of interstate (or any interstate in Indiana, lol), nothing would have happened.
True, but he would have lost his new fastener. Which is what I was thinking of, since the rest of the bolts, cables and wiring will hold it together just fine.

I nearly had to do that cut-a-hole-in-the-floor routine, to get my old mounts out. I think on one of them, I drilled a small hoel from up top, shot a bunch of pbblaster in there, and then heated it from the bottom. My seat belt bolts were even worse.
