On 81's, the front and rear window moldings weren't chrome, but instead stainless steel that was painted black. None of the window moldings used on 81's, are available as repro's.
I have a complete NOS set of 78 rear window moldings. The 78's are the same as 81's, except for the finish, 78's were polished stainless, while on 79-82's they were the same moldings painted black. I also have a pair of NOS 81 black a-pillar moldings, and I may have a used 81 windshield header molding.
The rear window moldings aren't cheap, and unfortunately it's just about impossible to ship them safely, not to mention that the shipping cost is ridiculous. If you're still interested though, PM me and we'll talk.
