There are two ways one is to actually cut out the bad section and thread it and tne buy the right fittings or some major plumbing stores make a rubber slip joint that slides over both pipes and tightens down with clamps.

Galvanized To Pvc

My vision is, By replacing the galvanized pipe with a new piece of the same, would be a lot less time and cost. By the time you get a compression fittings for the galvanized and PVC fitting with a new piece of PVC pipe, trying to fit properly, with no leaks, would be extremely less cost, time, and energy.
Two pipe wrenches, (may be borrowed from a friend or relative) a piece of same length pipe from a hardware store, a few dollars, that is already threaded. you'll need a small tube of pipe gunk,put to gather tightly and you should be good to go.
Good luck.

You need a special compression fitting that has either a rubber o-ring or rubber gasket that is compressed around the old pipe as you tighten the fitting. You may have to special order it through your local hardware store.

they make a PVC compression coupler to mate the two together , just slip the two pipes together and tighten, that's all' you can find this at any hardware store(home depot)..........

use whats known as a "dresser coupling" or "compression coupling" cut your bad part out, insert the coupling.it has a seal on both ends for pressure.
