Correct, that generation of truck, vac pump is on the driver's side and so is the vacuum "breakout" box and the low vacuum switch. And the VR is built into the alt.
About the only thing that might be missing from that passenger side, that might be where the original crank-up emergency jack was mounted. You see that clip sticking out of the passenger side fender, between the starter relay and the battery? That clip used to hold the long handle that's used to crank the jack. I reckon the PO probably decommissioned all that stuff. Starting with the late '95 PSDs, that space is occupied by the coolant reservoir and windshield washer fluid tank.
Not sure what "slip bearing" refers to. The throwout bearing maybe? In that case, I would guess that it would take ordinary bearing grease.
As for that vacuum actuator for the blend door, that's just missing a vacuum line that actually comes out of that wire harness that runs parallel to the heater hose. You see how there's one black line coming out of the harness? That's actually a vacuum line, not a wire. It's the vacuum "supply" to the HVAC controls from the vac pump distribution box. Now look veeeerrrrry carefully next to where that line goes into the loom. You see just a dash of white? THAT is the broken-off stub of the vacuum line that hooks up to that little actuator. The line was originally made of pure polycrapium tribrittleite plastic, which gets REAL brittle with age. Must've just broken off, and the PO discarded it. Just find some regular rubber vacuum hose, push one end of it onto that white stub, and the other end onto the actuator, and Bob's your uncle.

) and a few members said they towed heavier loads than the F250. Rating wise, it's on the very upper end. The surge brakes would keep me from having to wire 2 controllers up. Thoughts, suggestions, advice? Again, if I should start a new thread, let me know. Thanks again for all the awesome sauce so far! Rear brake adjustment and a few other tinkerings tomorrow afternoon hopefully!
