81 Chrome Removal

Could someone tell me how to remove the thin upper chrome strip down the side and also the chrome around the windsheild on a 81? does it take a special tool?

Thanks

Flathead screwdriver worked for me.

Although i believe i remember reading somewhere that the earlier 80's trucks had plastic clips and would break when you took the chrome strip off. I believe the cure for that is to take some metal clips off a newer truck in the yard.
