I'm not positive, but I think it may be under the hood on the driver's side fender near the master cylinder.

Ford has a habit of putting a cover over top of the OBDII connectors, particularly on older trucks. It'll be a square plastic piece with something like DIAGNOSTICS etched into it.

If it's the same as a buddy's 1996 Bronco, it's on the passenger side under the glovebox near the center of the vehicle inside.

I don't know if the big trucks (as in F250 and Up) had OBDII in those days. If it does not have the OBDII, the connector will be atop the driver's side fender under the hood.
