Most likely, Dexron ATF like for the early 70's models. Check the fluid color first - pink would be ATF.

My 1970 Fisher Body Service Manual calls for Type "A" or Dextron transmission fluid or equivalent in the Hydro-Lectric power top operating assembly.

Understand if your use brake fluid and have a leak, it will destroy any paint it gets on quickly.
