when i had my interior gutted, i want to say the seat studs are welded to the body from underneath. mine just stuck out from the floor, seat bracket sat over it, then a ~12mm nut fastened it down. when i undid the nuts to pull all the seats out, never had to get a wrench on the other side to hold the stud from turning. i remember when undoing the seat belts where they bolted to the floor, that bolt went through the floor into a nut that was welded on the underside of the body.
in your case i don't see any reason you could not use a bolt and nut, would just need a second pair of hands or something to hold the other side from turning. make sure you use grade 5 or better and make sure the body where it goes through is still strong.

The studs are not attached to the floor itself, they are on the cross braces. Have you pulled your carpet to have a look yet?
