Exclamation Power Steering Fluid!!!

I just finished changing my P/S return line, and now the reservoir is empty. I need fluid, but I can't find which type to use!!!

The chilton manual for 1980-1996 says ATF type F.
The O'Reilly's website says ATF type F.
The local ford place tells me on the phone that it takes "Dextron 3" what the hell? Which one of the two does my truck take? arrgh!

I have a 92 f-150 5.0L..... I need a reply ASAP.

Type F was used in the auto transmissions of most Fords, Dexron in most GM cars. Either should your power steering but I would go for the Type F.
