Forgot to mention, truck has no brake lights like none at all, signals and running and parking lights work reverse too I think but the brake lights do not at all

Welcome!

If the tail lights work, but none of the brake lights do, I'd verify good bulbs then start at the brake pedal position switch. It's unlikely that all three brake light bulbs would blow at the same time, but weirder things have happened, and it's possible that the PO (previous owner) just didn't bother checking and all three burned out over time.

Okay thank you, it did sit on a barn for 3 years before I bought it is there anything else I should check?

Welcome to TRS.
Congratulations on your purchase. Is this your first vehicle? Regardless, you're gonna love it. Back seat area is a little cramped, but you don't have to ride there
Good advice from Josh. Taillights are getting juice, just not getting a signal to turn on.
From the image you posted the truck looks pretty clean. Post up some more when you get the chance.

EDIT:
If you're asking about "other" things beside the taillights, yes there are other typical things, like fluids for sure if it's been sitting for awhile. Fuel for sure cuz it gets old and skanky which could lead to other problems. Go easy on it till you get it all sorted out.
