Solid green is probably for the coolant temp sensor

Pink with black stripe is the standard color code for fused ignition power.  Does the truck have an air management system (smog pump)?

Yes
Smog pump is on
Actually I’m replacing all vacuum lines and I
have questions about emissions but don’t know what topic to post in, engine?

That's a 480 Metripack connector P/N 12015952.  It is probably intended to power a throttle kicker solenoid.
