1952-59 Ford time to play..... what the heck is this?

the rules are simply. anyone who can identify the what the picture is wins some well earned bragging rights
photo 1 shows a hose plugged with something we dont care about. the challenge is to identify the function of the ****** the hose is attached to. it is located on right side lower side of a 292 yblock just above the oil pan.
photo 2 was taken beneath a 1956 country squire. it is located below the drivers door right between the frame rail and the rocker.

thanks for playing
what the heck is this

 

Photo 1 - block drain for the cooling system
Photo 2 - body or seat belt mount but it's off center (I'm guessing on this one)

 

so i could remove the hose and put a valve on the block drain?

 

Or a proper plug...

 

Galley plugs? Hmmm?

 

I'm not familiar with 292s, but any chance it's a heater coolant hose disconnected for summer?? My old 6 had a shutoff valve on it's coolant hose.

 

Is the first picture a hose plugged with a condenser?

 

Either that or:
1 - This upside down pic shows something plugged with a condenser about an inch above the oil pan, crankcase area... No water cooling there I guess. Might be something related to breathing / crank case ventilation / PCV blocked?
2 - Aint go a clue what its for, but it is in the area where the rubber plug goes to remove water.

 

The first one should have a pet**** in it. Should be one on each side. Have no idea on the second pic.
