Rear bumper removal
I wish someone had done this already so I would have known what I was looking for. Yes the AIM is helpful and also extremely unclear sometimes. Nothing beats a photo. So here is the backside of my 1978's rear bumper. The yellow circles show every bolt and screw location. I found it easier to remove the bolts around the perimeter then the bolts that hold on the actual steel bumper. The steel bumper and cover can then be removed together. This helps get to the 3 phillips screws on each of the tail lights as they are attached to the cover and it wont come off without these screws removed. As an aside; absolutely do not do this without at least safety goggles. I used goggles and a full mask. The amount of rust, sand, and dirt that flows directly to your eyes is unbelievable.
Heres a pic. Ask me for any help if need be.
