No, 7/8 diameter by .250 wall tubing by (framerail width). Drill framerails to 7/8", insert threaded tubing, weld in.
If there's room, I'd be tempted to make it a bolt/nut application just simply so you can have some slop in non-threaded tubes to make installing the body easier.
Make sense?-Matt

Matt,I must be a retard. The frame is 4" in height. You want me to drill a 7/8" hole through the frame and insert a 7/8 tube with 1/4" wall thickness. But there would be no threads for the bolt to thread into right? Thanks Chris

You'd have to tap it yourself if you wanted threads. That tube would have an I.D. of 3/8, so you'd have to drill it to 27/64 and tap it to 1/2-13, however deep you want. You could tap the entire tube, or you could just tap it 1".
In the pictures...blue is your body channel, purple is the bolt tube, and grey is the frame rail.-Matt

Matt, You kick ass man. Even a drawing to boot. I like it alot. The only change I would make and I would definately like your opinion is instead of mounting the tube horizontally the 2" way I would like to mount it vertically the 4" way. Are you still in business? If you are and I were to give you exact measurements would you build them for me??? Definately like your attention to detail. Thanks Chris
