Ford no longer licenses plain Mercon for older vehicles, so a "universal" fluid is what you want. Chevron MD-3 and Castrol Transmax DEX/MERC conform to the old spec. Mercon V is supposed to work, but shift quality may be slightly different. Type F ended in 1977.

Merc V will work just fine in your application.
The substitutes will also work, but there is no Ford oversight on quality on the unlicensed fluids.
Of course, no major oil company is going to risk their reputation on "cheating the spec", so you'll likely be good-to-go there, too.
Get what's available......
