Mystery tubes

I am getting my plow truck (1007 F250) ready for the winter season and noticed something hanging below. Checking it out I discovered 2 tubes, one blue and one pink. I know a little about vehicle repair but not enough to figure out where these two guys are supposed to be connected. I traced the two back to the top of the engine compartment next to the firewall behind the battery. I've included a few pictures. Any help including pictures of where they should be connected would be of great help.

Typo in the year? I'll guess you mean a 1987, and those could be to part of the EGR system. Or if that's a 2007, then you should have a check engine code to be scanned...and that's pretty rusty for an'07.
 
On the underside of your hood there should be a label
with the vacuum line routing diagram. I've got three of
them and none of them show a blue line. All three of
them are different too.

All three are 351w...

The black doohickey is either a TAD or a TAB solenoid.
I bet you got a code for the "Thermactor" system too. ;)

They look like wires to me not vacuum lines.

Vac lines. IIRC they are the 4x4 actuator lines to the front diff.
