Either make the bar wider if it is round and not chrome add some pipe right in the middle to fill the dirrerence.

Or build some brackets to widen or stepout the mounts?

Factory one is bolted to the bumper/frame using the existing bumper mount bolts and holes.

But this is for a 73-79 application, I think I have seen 80's and up the same way??
