Sorry couldn't resist..

Is it possible the metal piece that supports it along the top and bolts into the fender has rusted out?

Got any pics? It could be some server sun damage and the bumper has kinda melted/warped some.

Your signature says that future plans include "Z28 body conversion." Well, now's the time to get started. If you're replacing the bumper anyway, might as well get a Z28 bumper or you'll be replacing it again.

very true, i just need to find a place that has the bumper itself and not just the cover.

Also on the GFx for the rocker panels, what am i goin to need? I know the rear bumper will bolt right up along with the front,besides drilling the hole for the fenders Fx but im not to clear about the rocker panels.
