Default What Is This

Ok, so today I tried to fix the vacuum leak to my 4X4, and in the process I found this: http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...9081538-02.jpg

http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/p...ysteryHose.jpg

Now, I had a severe front end collison in my truck a few years back, and i took my truck to my local body shop.
When I got my truck back it seems the body shop thought that just because they had to unhook parts of the truck, that they didnt have to hook the back up when they were done! I could spend a whole page explaining all the wire connections and hoses they left to just hang, but I just want to find out where this hooks to.
Thanks

No it doesnt run along the frame the rubber part of the hose runs up over the top of the transmission havent really tried to see where it goes from there. on my truck there would be no way that hose could run to evap canister, unless there is a whole peice of hose missing. Knowing what kind of job has been done to my truck, I wouldnt think twice about a whole chunk of hose missing.
