Carlo died in 76, Bruno died in 1980. By this point I don't think Lombardo was "the real boss". Fat Tony was either AB, or they had the three man panel, either way, by the early 80's they were acting for the Chin. Chin's new book has him being named official boss around this time, '81 to be specific, and power was probably heavily leaning in his favor in 1980. To be more specific, from Fish Cafaro's testimony we know Fat Tony was removed from his AB position in 1981 after suffering a stroke, this decision was made by Chin, Lombardo, Bobby Manna, and Sammy Santora in conjunction. That was also the year Lombardo retired. So Chin was definitely boss some time in 81, and brought Salerno back to front for him.
