According to the '80 FSM, you don't have to drop the gas tank to remove the rear bumper.

Both front and rear bumpers are held on by 2 long bolts, with 14 mm heads, that are accessed from the bottom of the bumper. Don't forget to unplug the lights. P B Blast them as well as you can. Often takes a 1/2" impact to break the rear ones loose.
