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

on 85 86 f 150 the computer is under the dash just right of the steering colum an left of the ash tray . if u look at where the plug on the fire wall an look back at the dash it would sit right there on a bracket .
