Basic question, I'm sure, but I'm a novice. Can you use any automatic transmission fluid in place of power steering fluid on a '67?

yes you can but power steering fluid is better to use. i think the old dip sticks used to say use type F. read your dipstick to see what it says.

Yes, transmission fluid is fine to use in your truck. That's what they put in it at the factory.
It was called Type F-L-M when these trucks were built, later shortened to Type F, as Fordman said.

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak
That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!!
