The premise for the original question is mistaken, there is no OBDI plug on a 99 SD. A 99 Super Duty will have an OBDII electrical interface, not OBD1. However, unless the truck was a "green state" version from the factory, it will be running an OBDI calibration on the OBDII hardware platform
So the, correct answer is "Yes, the OBDII reader will work just fine since the 99 does NOT have an OBDI plug."

Hence why I asked if the connector is the same. Other people spewing mis-information on here.

Let's try this. Will an OBDII reader work on a 99 F250 SD V10?
Will it read any codes, or do I need to do something else?

Yes.
All Cars and light trucks built and sold in the United States after January 1, 1996 were required to be ODBII equipped.

OBDI connector looks like this and is usually located under the hood near the brake master cylinder.
