Looks like something was ran up inside the rail, after market.
* makes mental note to self whilst looking at factory spot welds - stitch weld the rails to the firewall etc*

Just thinking out aloud here, maybe a drain tube for aftermarket knee freezer A/C unit?

BINGO!
That's why there are two extra great holes above for the airconditioning lines. If it runs into the chassis rail, I wouldn't use it (water + metal= RUST).

I think Everyone is on the money with the aircon. It's a shame the people that installed these didn'tt stop and think of the long term implications of running water inside a chassis rail. Even though there is a hole at the bottom of the chassis rail if you've ever cut one open there is a bracket inside for the bolt hole where the cross member is mounted, the water wouldn't get past this and would just sit there.
