I just took the one off of my 82. Its easier to take off the whole front nose then just the bumper cover.

There are 8 nuts 4 on each side holding the metal bumper bar to the frame. Then some smaller hardware holding the nose to the fenders. Then the plate the hood latch goes in. its bolted to the radiator area. and then another brace holding that plate to the lower part of the radiator housing.. and the hood latch/release will need to be unbolted.. I think thats it.

Then it should come off. I had minor drivers side damage but enough to bend afew things you might have to yank on it here and there for it to come apart.

Good luck
