I cant think of anything in that part of the bed other than lower trim. But surely it wouldnt require a hole that big.
I am going to guess that that is not stock. But there will be someone along shortly with alot more knowledge of these trucks than me im sure.

i just took the tape measure to it and the holes are exactly 7 inches from the tail light trim but i found the drives side is like 7 inches from the side marker light trim and the other is about 6 and 3/4 but it could be trim being off on eatch side. so i am not sure and it seems somthing circular could have been mounted to these holes maybe some kind of antenna's for a cb or somthing? i seem to remember some trucks had those with springs on the sides but they were not stock haha..

My guess is a pair of CB antenna whips, sporty.

Not likely whip antennas, there would be about a 1" hole in the center of 3 smaller holes. Maybe some sort of tiedown?
