* Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information.
* Look at the fuel door: Sometimes the tank size is printed on a sticker on the fuel door.
* Check the sticker inside the driver's side doorjamb: This sticker lists various specifications of the vehicle, and may include the fuel tank capacity.
Without more information about your specific 1999 F-150 (cab style, engine size, etc.), it's impossible to give a definitive answer.
