I believe it is welded on. Do you have welding experience?

How did you remove the old one, did you drill holes right through it? If you did then now all you have to do is line up the new one and use the holes you drilled to tack weld the new one it in place.

Temporarily bolt it on using sheet metal screws. After that hang and align all of your outer sheet metal, lights, bumper, grille etc to make sure the support is sitting in the right place. This way if its not you can remove the sheet metal screws and get everything to line up before you start welding it in place.
