It is the only hose coming out of your booster and going to your engine. Pull it off the booster and pour it in.

you don't have one! HD's don't have vacuum assist brakes - there is NO brake booster like a regular 1/2 ton, instead it's a hydraulic system. You'll have to locate another vacuum line, the brake booster is usually preferred b/c it's easy to get to and a pretty big line so it's easier to pour into, you might have to let it suck it in from a smaller line.
