Real nice starting point. The nose looks pretty good on it.
Welcome aboard

Not to sure about keeping the nose yet thinking of the modern front cover and rear roll pan amd smooth out rear hump on quarter that lives under the stock rear cover but yes not to bad of a start for 2500 3rd rimes the charm

I made a steel rear rollpan on my 79 Elco. I cut out and patched over the area of those ugly bumps.

I also transferred the licence plate to the rollpan,smoothed the tailgate, installed 67-68 Firebird taillights in the tailgate and moved the side marker lights up and rearward. BTW my Elco is now A 2dr. wagon.

Maybe some color might make that front grow on you, I always did have an odd thing for liking those noses. And if you don't want to keep it there shouldn't be any issues find it a new home on this fourm.
