Anybody seen factory brackets that hang the alternator off these holes?
Yes that is another reason why they are like that as well.

Low mount alternator -> http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/360668...-1/s-l1000.jpg

You won't normally see these used in trucks because of our frames and how they get in the way. But in cars and older trucks they could work because of more open space.
