OK, Forget what I said about sheet metal screws. It's been way too long since I worked on my '39 floor. You'll need to find the thread pitch on those body nuts to procure the right machine thread screws. I highly doubt the body nuts take a sheet metal thread.

  Carefully try a few taps close to what the threaded holes appear to be. Don't force the tap into the nut, if body nuts are rusty, oil them first and try to clean them out some. Hopefully you have a tap & die set, if not, a cheap set will suffice for this project. The right tap should go in fairly smooth. You can even take that tap to hardware store to match up the screw thread you need.
