Sounds like you have a lot of projects on your hands in this truck.
Since your only into the truck for a relatively small amount this might be a great time before you invest more $ to assess things and see if you could come out ahead on the deal.
Im sure you now understand why the price was so low.
So the tranny is a possible gonner, but you still have a good engine, r/r axle, body panels, and interior.
About this point Id park the truck on a trailer, part out all the good stuff on craigslist, and deliver the shell to a metal recycler. End result, at least $1000 in your hot little hands.
There are days a vehicle is worth more in parts than as a whole, Ive even bought some knowing that, and if the purchase price is right, while yours was on the high end for a scrap car theres still proffit left to be made.
