Oil Drain Plug Location

So I been wanting to change the oil for a few days now since it's been 3000 miles. Bought my oil and filter. Pulled into the driveway and looked under only to not be able to find the stupid bolt. I changed the oil in it before when I first got it back in December last year. I even had my tools ready. I figured do it tomorrow since I have off and that who I live with park in the driveway so I had to move it. My manual doesn't say about which side the plug is on. I know my filter is on the drivers side. O sorry this is for a 1990 F150 Straight Six.

its on the passenger side,

if you cant get the plug off just knock a hole in the pan with a screwdriver,

it will drain easy.

well I have to park on the street which my passenger side faces the house.... Yet filter is on the driver side. The kicker? The driveway would be wide enough if there wasn't a car sitting off to the side where a open space would be. Not my car so I can't move it myself.
