This truck has a cool feature that ive only ever seen on my grandpas truck. that vent cap by the brake booster and extra brake line going to the front rad support is a vacuum over hydraulic trailer brake controller. my grandpas sail boat trailer has a vacuum brake booster with master cylinder on the tongue of the trailer and the brakes are hydraulic. At the back of that truck somewhere should be 2 quick connect vacuum ports. It would use engine vacuum to pull the booster in on the trailer. goofy system, but it worked well. Somewhere in the cab should also be a vacuum gauge and an adjustment knob (if it was set up right).
I will have to look again when I pick it up but I believe those lines your referring to are for the cruise control it’s mounted beside the rad and the brake line going to it is to cancel when you hit the brakes but I’m not sure until I see it again
Idle circuit is probably filled with crud. You seem to only have accelerator pump. These are my favorite gen Ford pickups, love everything about them. Excellent video!
Low boy, loyal old rig

That old truck wants to live it’ll be a good one with a little maintenance
@@toddcundiff3976 yeah I’m sure it will be a great truck
Another nice project 😊
Get all those critters out?
Leave them all there for the coyotes!

@@metalmangle I got it idling after doing the rev and snuff technique it seemed to clear out the idle circuit
