Definitely not factory. I cant see how its bolted in, but you should be able to slide it back and drill some new holes to make it work. As for the mount, if you get one for a 72 truck it will bolt on with two bolts that should line up with the holes in the crossmember. Or I guess you could just drill a hole in the center for the stud, but the bolts are easier to work with in my opinion.
