There are two long bolts holding the starter in place. Unbolt them from the front, but don't pull them out all the way. Just enough to clear the hogshead.
You should also buy a shop manual. It'll save you a lot of time and will come in very handy. They're available in reprint from any of the repro parts vendors, as well as on eBay. They're worth every penny.

if it is a flathead v8, there should be a small bracket that goes though one of the two bolts and connects to oil pan to support front end of starter. if you don't have one, you might want to get one, also if you are working underneath, don't forget to unhook the cable from the solenoid, hard to miss from above.

Unless someone swapped in a modern V6, it would have an I-6 (inline 6).
The front starter support clip that goes to an oil pan bolt is sort of Z-shaped. It isn't shown in any parts book I've got. There is a pan bolt just in front of the starter it goes to.

this link should take you to a pic/supplier if you have a flat I6 or v8.

All starters, 6 or V8 are basically the same. The two bolts that hold the starter to the plate also hold the starter together. If you loosen the two bolts and pull the starter out the starter most likely will come apart in pieces. You have to make sure you carefully pull the whole assembly out as a unit. If you're going to have it sitting around for a while install a 1/4" nut on the end of the bolts to hold it together.
If it does come apart, or if you take it apart, and want to reassemble the easiest way to do it is use a small hook and pull the brush springs out of their sockets and hang them on the edge of the sockets so they're not applying pressure to the brushes. Also, pull the brushes completely out of the sockets. Assemble the starter, again taking care to have all parts together, insert brushes and then the springs.
