Need Help ASAP

Ok so long story short. I let one of my teammates drive my truck to take us to get mcdonalds after a night of drinking. My truck is the vehicle everyone on my team wants to drive so i obliged since i wanted food and i had a night of drinking after finals under my belt. Well at mcdonalds we got a flat tire. Truck started pulling hard left and we immediately got out to check it. Flat front left tire. My question is (and after seaching for my manual) we found that the dealer forgot the manual in my truck and i need to know where the jack is so i can put the replacement tire on my truck and make it to the tire shop. Everything was ok, big thanks to the Bridgeport police department for help escorting me to a gas station to fill the tire and get home in time. So if someone could tell me where the jack is located on a 2005 F-150 that would be great. im questioning whether it is located under the spare tire under the bed because we couldnt get it off.

P.S. you could picture my enthusiasm filling a tire at 3am in the pouring rain.....

Not trying to be rude, but it should be under the rear seat passenger side...

If you do not have a manual, you can download one for free from www.motorcaftservice.com in the owners manual section.

On my '03:

Jack & tire iron under the passenger back seat.
Jack handle under the hood, in front.
Other widget in the glove compartment.

I actually read my owners manual and took cheat sheet notes for just such an occdasion.
