Re: Another front clip question
Pretty sure it is the grille, center support, hood lach, and grille brackets. Depending on which bezels/headlights you have, you may have to switch out headlamp buckets, bezels, turn signals, lower grille molding, and possibly the lower valence.

Re: Another front clip question
Is it an 80 or an 80's? cause theres a big difference. The 1980 trucks are a simple grille and trim change, but swapping and 1973-80 front end on to an 1981-87 truck is a lot more complex. You need a hood, fenders, inner fenders, core support, hood hinges, 70's wipers, all the 70's trim and grilles, and to do it properly (IMO) you need to weld up some holes on the cowl of the 80's truck.
I only ask this because I noticed your sig says you have an 85
