You may be able to get brand X Dexron/Mercon ATF at some farm supply stores like Rural King, but I am not recommending them unless you can verify the contents matches with Dexron/Mercon specs.
Dave,

Just wondering, would you recommend Dextron/Mercon ATF over Type F?

As you know, from one of my prior post, I changed the fluid to Type F and am now monitoring the performance every time I take the car out, to see if there is a difference in performance. So far nothing.

Is your avatar Ford, a two door post car? I am looking into the factory door guards for my 53' Merc convertible (BG-19292-A). The measurement from the bottom of belt molding to the bottom of the door is 30". All I seem to be able to find is ones that are 28". I am trying to figure out what the 28" ones fit.
