One or Two O2 Sensors?

Doing a Tune-Up on my old F150 this weekend and I'm just wondering how many O2 sensors it has. I thought it had two, but I can only seem to locate one just behind the Cat on the passenger side. Is that the only one, or am I just not looking hard enough?

Edit: It's a 1995 with a 5.0.

I don't know, but go to an auto parts store and ask. They should be able to tell on the computer.

My '97 EB Expy has 3 O2 sensors.

Additional info.

1 O2 sensor coming off of each side of the manifolds (that's 2) and the third is after the Catalytic converter.

FWIW, the 95 V-engine should have TWO sensors. One on each exhaust manifold. They are used to monitor fuel trim.

All 96 - on V-engines should have FOUR sensors.

FWIW, there is no benefit in replacing the downstream sensors unless they have specifically failed.

There are 4 O2 sensors. 2 on the left and 2 on the right side,with 1 on each side before,and 1 each side after the cats.
There around $50 or so each,and the ones before the cats can be a pain.
there is really no need to change 'em unless you have a check engine code going on for it.Then only replace the bad one.
