Both. There isnt a 2nd gen nose I dont like. I seem to prefer the 79-81 over the 77-78, I have only had two 77s and four 79-81s. The nice thing about the later nose is how easy it is to clean it up aerodynamically. Headlight covers make a big difference, and covering up the lower grilles makes for a very smooth front end. Most people dont want to drive around with the grilles covered though. My TATA had no trouble runnin 130-140 mph yet my 77 could only manage 120-125 with the same gears and more engine. The 10th didnt have anything over the headlights or grilles, that thing would top end like crazy for a stock engine.

My favorite is 70-73, I have always liked those best.
