Welcome to the board. Looks like you have a good start and hopefully a good runner to get you from point A to B.

1st. Get your E-brake working and sort out the wiring rats nest!!!! With that 4speed, I'd save for some new tires too, because your going to be riding around on bologna skins soon.

I echo Spartan. Go through the brakes first. Shoes, drums and wheel cyl in the rear; pads, rotors and calipers on the front. Include new brake and fuel lines. Might as well go with a new H2O and fuel pump too while you're in there twisting wrenches (just don't run rubber fuel line around the engine ever).

Are all hoses good?

Are all leaks sealed?

Carb tuned right?

Does it have HEI ignition or still running points? Either way, new plugs, wires, dist. cap and internals are always good.

That should take you some time to get used to the truck and decide what you really want to do.
