Default Help locating the vacuum reservoir.

Hi all this is my post. I've looked for the vacuum reservoir on this truck (1998 4.0 XLT 4X4) and I can't see it. Is it under the coolant overflow can/windshield washer fluid reservoirs, or the heater/A/C blower housing? I cannot see it? Whether it's shaped like a ball or cylindrical. To avoid taking anything off for nothing and wasting time, I'm asking to see if someone has done this already.
The reason is air is coming out of the defrosters only and this is the first place I want to look at. Probable vacuum leak.
Please help me save some time.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Paul

take down your passenger side inner fender well and the vaccum reservoir ball will be mounted to the lower area of the inner fender well close to the fire wall,but you can not see it untill you drop the inner fender well on the passenger side.

It will be fastened to the plastic fender shield with two screws. Also it's closer to being under the air box than anything else.
