I am about to change the transmission fluid. It calls for Type A. Where can I find this? Do you have a recommended alternative?

Do you know when the transmission was last rebuilt? Type A used to be/is equivalent to Dextron vs the old Ford Type F. Most of the time the new rebuild kits require Mercon-Dextron fluid but check with whoever is doing the work to see if they can tell.
Here is some basic ATF info on the HAMB with the usual gaggle of comments:
