Did you do anything to give the body filler something to hold on to or did you just leave it the way it was? Were the panels dried out and flaking wasn't sure if u sanded them first or not?
So realize this was a while ago. I scuffed them and just threw the filler on.

Gotcha wasn't really sure how well the filler would grab the panel
Can't go wrong with a 70's clip 
Boooooooo! I'd do the '86 front flip, or do a 4 headlight 89-91 grille. But, I am just biased, I can't stand the 70's single round HL front clips personally. Just seems backwards since you are starting with an 81+ in the first place.
Looks good so far.

My preference has always been the early front clips.
One of my main reasons is the headlight size is stupid common. New lighting technology will always hit those old 7" round lights. This truck will spend a ton of time on the road. IME unfortunately much of that time will be at night. So the lighting was very much in favor of the earlier style. I also really dig the stock 73 grille.
Only thing I need to change is the wiper posts. Going to take the clip off and put the engine trans in then on goes the 73 clip.

Round head lights for the win!!
Man Gus I looked for this thread for a while couldn't find it.
@GWeakland620 see I'm the king. Or the loser cause I haven't done a dang thing.
I do have an update.
This truck was bought for the drivetrain.
We are on similar paths , not getting anything done but a cool pile of parts.
Lol, well you may have me then. I mean, I did work on mine today, so I officially give you the title of Slow Poke.
