Ac auto am radio lots of options in the spid lwb 350ci etc etc orche white 2 tone lil rusty on the bed and 1 blue door

well, i was at the dump here in our small town of 500 folks....came up there trying to get rid of pvc which they wouldnt take...well the older fella came over told me nonono cant take that here etc....and we started talkin bout my truck...then the 67-72's...and he said hes' gotta 72 at his house......well fast forward a few months i decided id stop by to look at it...stopped by talked..looked talked....and he asked if id be interested in buying it...i said idk ...he said he'd take 400 for it.....so i told him idk leme think bout it...came back 2 days later and told him that i only had 340 dollars to spend. he said he would take it. Well i came back later that next saturday with a truck and trailer...loaded it up with a comealong rated for like......4000lbs lol nearly got killed tryin to winch it on the trailer...brought it home after buying my truck hauling friend lunch and dinner of his choice....well i pressure washed the.......dirt/scum/grime/algae vacumed out lots of change sunflower seeds painkiller bottles and grime lol..

okay, well, i put some jumper cables to it and nada im by no means anykind of vehicle expert, but im learning,slowly
reckon its a fuse or wire going from battery to fusebox idk we will see

the tranny has no fluid, is it ok to run the truck with no fluid in the tranny for a few minutes?

its missing the driveshaft, where would the cheapest place to get one at, and can i install 1 myself or should i take it somewhere, wat shouold i expect to pay for one?

im not sure what ima use the truck for yet, parts for mine, fix it and drive it maybe cut it down to swb...cabs decent shape rockers and maybe cab corners but floors pretty good shape...doesnt look like any rust around the windshield, my 68 is packed with caulking to keep water out ahhahahahaha lol......hopefully with the help of you fella's i can get it running and driving and do something with it, i dont wanna take a few parts offa it and then have it rot in my bakcyard lol.....thanks heres soem pictures if i can get them working!
