Help, Help, Help!!! Please

I have a 74 Ford 100 truck. It rides like a caddy, and is original right to the hubcaps. I have a question though. It is an automatic, and i can't seem to find where to put transmission fluid in at. I know this probably sounds stupid, but i would appreciate some help. Also, it seems to hesitate sometimes in reverse with a little bounce to it...any ideas? Thanks alot for any help...
Sincerely, D. Brock

stand next to the passenger side front fender and look down behind the motor by the firewall. Should see a tube with a dipstick(with the finger loop) sticking up.
