When I removed the old bed today from my 66 Chevy C10 I noticed a tube attached to the top of the rear differential that ran to one of the cross members of the frame. It just stops. Not connected to anything. What they heck?

That's my guess. PO probly lived where he had to cross water to get where he was going, so he repositioned his vent higher.

Be the change you want to see.

Must vent the axles. If you cross water / sand / mud / etc... pretty common fix. The "mudders" in mid MO do this normally.
