352 balancer

I have a 1966 F-100 That has its origanal 352. I bought this truck a few years ago and have worked on it a few times. a short while ago I thought it needed to be timed so me and a buddy decided to work on it. When I opened the hood that time was when I realized it didnt have a balancer but did have a timing pointer sticking out of the timing chain cover. Does it need a balancer and why doesn't it have one from the factory? Also would a bal;ancer from a 360 or 390 work?

It has a balancer, it's real skinny though. One pulley sheeve is built into it.

There should be some timing marks on the engine side of that skinny pulley that the pointer lines up with.
