Identify Tube

I recently bought a '53 F100 with the flathead V8. This tube was in the bed. It looks like a drain of some sort. Can anyone help me identify what it is and where it goes? Thanks.

Looks like that fouler of air, spotter of driveways, and oiler of roads, the road draft tube:

Very hard to find that draught tube, only on the '53 F-100, cars and older trucks all have the shepherds hook one.
