What wasn't working correctly after you drove it home from the shop? That will at least tell you where to look.

It looks as if it's going through the firewall. If you had cruise control on that truck at one time, it could be the cruise control vacuum break that went to the brake pedal valve. Without having vacuum operated AC controls, the only other reason for a vacuum line that size to run inside your truck is for the cruise control vacuum break. On my 84 that hose goes through the driver side firewall to the lower right hand side of the master cylinder.

That’s why I’m thinking maybe a gauge

even non-AC trucks use vacuum to switch from floor to defrost, right? or do they use a cable like the hot/cold door?

@akchevrolet,
Did this shop put a oxygen sensor in the headers? Or a bung for one? Since you don't have A/C this line could go to some vacuum source, and the engine wasn't running funky coming home? Non a/c vehicles had a cable pull for the heater and vent door. And wires could have been in this hose since it's going into the cab, to protect them from engine heat.

Get your head/hand up under the dash and find where it goes to, simple.

I was asking for the outside not inside.
Sure, but if you know exactly where it runs to, we can possibly better advise you as to where to connect it back up..
It may be a redundant hose.
