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, 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 :nono: That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!! :thup:
