Speed Sensor location?

Maybe a stupid question, but my ABS light has been on since I purchased my truck a couple weeks ago and I checked my brake fluid level and it is fine. Most of the info I have from FTE seems to say replacing the speed sensor will probably fix this. I purchased one Friday and am hoping to put it in later today, but where is it? (I don't have a shop manual yet, in another thread)

I think it should be on top of the rear axle - right on the differential. Should be the only sensor in that area.

There is also speed sensors in the front nuckles. That is were mine was bad. you have to remove the brake discs to pull them out and check them visually. There is a way to check them without removing anything but I don't remember.

I didn't have a scan tool I have FTE which is just as good! I read about this problem in several other threads and for the $22 sensor was willing to try it and it worked!!!!!!!!! No more ABS light and I didn't need to go to a dealer!
