I THINK it should be there. Perhaps you can check with a magnet to see if it 
has been covered over with Bondo. The threaded insert actually consists of a 
large thin hex nut spot-welded to the inside of the doorskin. Fastys of that 
era came with a plastic plug pressed into that spot, painted to match the 
car. If you can't find it from the outside I don't know if you can work your hand 
up there on the inside far enough to expect to feel it.
