Very possible since cruise doesn’t work on this truck. From what I’ve read the vac system is only used for hvac, brakes, and cruise.
The dash blower only really works on the defroster which is another possible symptom of vac leak so things may be starting to add up here
Yeah that sounds right, hvac, brakes, cruise. C6 would use it but you don't have that.
The vac tubes for HVAC in the dash are somewhat fragile plastic tubes, so it's possible one is broken. Thankfully I've never had to mess with that, so far, so I can't give much insight.
A good way to diagnose leaks is to stick a vac gauge on the junction tee and try removing one accessory at a time and stick your finger over the barb to seal it, and see if the reading is worse with one accessory more than others. I had to do vac diagnose the RV when I got it.
Ended up saving the engine, because the lower radiator hose sprung a leak suddenly (rotten probably original hose from 1985, in 2019!!!) and I caught it before it lost much, and it was just idling so it wasn't very warm.
Anyway, the problem ended up being a bad booster and a weak vacuum pump both. I unhooked the cruise and stuck a vinyl cap over the barb on the distribution block.
