My '83 uses dex III. I thought they started phasing out the Type F in the f150's in the late 70's.

Look on the Transmission Dipstick for the type of Fluid.

Sorry about that;
I thought Ford stamped the fluid type on all of the automatic transmissions.

My 1987 C6 uses DEXRON II, DEXRON III and/or MERCON fluid.

See picture of my C6 dipstick.
