I'm trying to book a F ticket but the fare keeps on coming up as a Y fare. I know I get the upgrade (booked in A) but I'm not guarenteed it. How do I get the F fare to show up? If I do buy the Y fare ticket I won't get the bonus mileage from a F ticket right? Thanks!</font>
That is incorrect. If you try to book an F ticket and you are coming up with a YUP fare booked in A inventory, the upgrade is confirmed just as if you purchased an F fare. It does not matter if the fare basis code begins with Y, if there is no A inventory, the fare would not come up.

You also receive the 50% bonus miles and 50% bonus qualifying points for flying one of these fares.

Also if I get the YUP fare and I fly on a 777 will I get first or business?

This fare should put you in First Class. If it is otherwise, the booking engine will make it clear to you.
