The reason for the threaded ends is the ability to tighten everything, thus pre-tensioning the rear frame geometery which will eliminate the frame horns from flexing. Without this provision, the chassis will still flex, but will be limited by the welded in bracing.

Square tubing should work as well as round tubing.
