The differences in ATF are in the frictional qualities they produce at lock-up, as they approach the slip stick threshold. Type F reflected Ford's use of a particular organic lining material, and the amount of it used in the clutch packs within their automatic transmissions. As far as lubricity is concerned, all automatics have steel gears in their planetary gear sets, and bushings, and bearings of various types, lubricated perfectly well by all types of ATF.
Ford fluid has been obsolete since 1984, when even Ford designated Dexron for their transmissions. And any Ford trans overhauled with modern rebuilding components can use any fluid.
