PS Fluid

72 F100 with power steering and auto trans.

I was low on PS fluid and the dipstick says use ATF. My question is, what type of ATF? Since this truck's tranny takes Type F ATF is that what I use in the PS?

you can use type F or dextron III. DON'T USE POWER STEERING FLUID, or you will be buying a new pump

Either will work, whatever your truck uses in the trans if it's an auto, or whatever's handy. The major difference between Dexron/Mercon and Type F is the additional friction modifiers in the F that make it a bit more "sticky".
