There are some states in which the trucks came without a bumper, sometimes (cali comes to mind but they tend to be more strict on things so I don't know). This is stuff I've heard, I don't know, but I heard if it came without a bumber, somewhere that it was ok (legal), then it's ok, kind of grandfathered in or whatever. Otherwise you've got to have a bumper. I'm sure the laws vary from state to state and if they tell you that you need one...But yes, '82s definitely came with bumpers.
