The Fords mostly have problems with the converter rattling inside. This is usually because the catalyst inside breaks down. The only way to fix a converter if this happens is to replace them, probably about $600.00-1000.00 or so depending on engine size (most have 4 converters). Find out what damaged to old converters (check o2 sensors etc) otherwise the new converters may suffer the same fate. Also check the rest of the exhaust to make sure that there is no catalyst pieces stuck in the pipes or muffler as this will restrict the exhaust flow causing other problems.

The 1999 Ford F-150 typically comes with two types of catalytic converters depending on the engine configuration: a single catalytic converter for the 4.2L V6 engine and dual catalytic converters for the 4.6L and 5.4L V8 engines. These converters are designed to reduce harmful emissions and meet environmental regulations. It's important to ensure that any replacement parts are compatible with the specific engine type to maintain optimal performance.

Look under the vehicle and count them.
Ford F150 can have either one or two converters. Depends on the year and model, I have a 92 F150 Flareside 5.0 and it has 2 catalytic converters. My 03 F150 supercrew has two. One at the back of each exhaust manifold. The one from the drivers side enters a crossover pipe that T's with the passenger side at the back of the transmission on the passenger side.
There are not two catalytic converters. Working towards the muffler from the flange, you have a RESONATOR, a CATALYTIC CONVERTER and finally a MUFFLER.
I would think no way, but also no way would you pass an emissions inspection w/o catalytic converters. Here in Maryland it is a bi-annual inspection.
They have 4...there is two on each side right before the Y pipe!
In the 2010 Ford F-150 XLT, there are typically four O2 sensors: two upstream (pre-catalytic converter) and two downstream (post-catalytic converter). The upstream sensors are located on the exhaust manifold or just before the catalytic converters, while the downstream sensors are located after the catalytic converters in the exhaust system. These sensors monitor the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases to help optimize fuel efficiency and emissions.
