Vacuum diagram/Chart needed

I need a vacuum hose diagram of a

This truck has been well cared for through the years. & is 93% unmolested.
Got some things added fog lights, anti-rust coating, & trailer wiring early on.
But is all stock. So I know that it's got the parts it's supposed to have.
So if anyone has a vacuum hose emissions diagram for my truck, it'd be great.

1978

F-150 Ranger

351M

stock A/C (big box under hood)

2WD Manual trans 4-speed OD
(Spaned 78-83, called the false top loader because
it had gears loaded thru top, but had side shift linkage/shifters.)

Any way possible I can get a copy of your 76 vac diagram, I have 76 f100 c6,360, non catalyst, 2wd.
Thank you

The problem with vacuum charts is that there's about a hundred different setups and each had multiple pages. These aren't 1 page things you're asking for. I'd look into buying your shop manuals on CD from amazon. Will run you about $35, usually the first thing I recommend buying. If you do some searches on here you'll find some charts but I found that its never the one that I need so I paid the $35.

Vacuum diagrams aren't in the shop manuals for my 76 or 78. I was just as baffled.

I had the same problem as BigMighty. I bought the manuals on CD and they are great, but I can't locate a vacuum diagram in them. I have the Motor, Body/Chassis/Electrical and Predelivery manuals.
