I have decided to do a cheap repaint on the truck. I plan on painting over existing paint after scuffing it up a bit. What is the best/easiest filler to use on small scratches and very minor imperfections? I don't want to go down to bare metal.

Regular body filler like evercoat's rage should not be applied over paint.
For your app of smoothing minor dings and scratches the best product to use is a poly glaze product. Evercoat's metal glaze or Upol's dolphin glaze.
A poly glaze product is different from regular fillers is that the filler material(talc) is ground up finer. They are a thinner product that is designed to be applied over sanded paint to fill minor surface imperfections
