On the 86 model Vans, the computer goes on a hanging type bracket in front of the Heater Motor...perfect place.

the dash in the 83 was cracked and had a big hole over the speaker and the dash in the 88 wasn't and i think the interior looks better in the later trucks. but i wont ever do it again it was a pita
