That Carb Solenoid looks like either a Fast Idle Solenoid or Anti-Diesel Solenoid. I believe there should be power to it in Ignition Run position. Time to check Schematics and Carb Diagrams... which I don't have...
Do yourself a favor and replace those hard plastic vacuum lines with rubber lines. With the age of these vehicles those plastic lines crack, split, break and are a common cause of vacuum leaks.
We are probably going to be replacing them with rubber lines. There's not a lot of it and it's easy to replace. Thanks for the tip. Any ideas on what the last photo is?

That looks like the connection to the electric choke cap. Put a voltmeter on it first with 'key on' and second while the engine is running.
From the factory, the choke feed wire was attached to the "S" stator of the alternator. There should be zero voltage when the engine is not running.
Thank you so much. The truck would not want to idle. In the past, my grandfather held the choke open with a steel clip and fed it gas until it warmed up.
