Refill Power steering Fluid?
How do I top off the power steering fluid on an 74' F100 360?
Do I just pour in via the dip stick spout? I dont see any other reservoir cap for me to open up and pour into...

Type-F transmission fluid is used in the Thompson 'pencil neck' power steering pump.
The dipstick is graduated with where the fill mark is. You will need to run the truck and get the PS fluid up to operating temperature before adding more fluid. --heated fluid expands.

Use the Type F tranny fluid...I had trouble finding it and had to use the store brand from the parts store, but whatever. If the fluid got low enough that air may have entered the lines make sure you bleed it properly.
