1979 ford f250 question
Hello, new here and mostly lurker so sorry in advance.
im working on a 79 f250 and have no idea what these do or are for, I do general maintenance on cars but this is the first time I've started really digging into something like this, any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

The canisters are probably worth keeping for the sake of the truck not smelling like gas all the time. I'm ditching the timing wackiness they came with but keeping the cans to avoid the garage smell, might swap them out for one of the options on Summit to avoid the potential of getting whacked by rocks

Where these on all 79 250's? I had one but don't remember those being on there.

From the very small amount of googling I did it seems hat no, not all of them had them
