Are there any aftermarket rear 1" sway bars that look identical to the stock 7/8" rear bar? I don't really like the shape of the Hotchkis one I have and prefer the stock look... but in 1" though.

If I end up using the Hotchkis TVS stuff I still have at present, I was thinking of still using the included 1 3/8" hollow front sway bar... but a more 'stock looking' 1" rear sway bar as above.

Muscle Factory Chevelle sells a 1" bar that looks like the stock one. Will work on similar year and model Olds.
Product Code: RS006, price 79.99 - not bad...
I ordered from them before and they seem good to deal with.
I think they are on evil bay, too, if you like dealing there.

I purchased my boxed control arms from Muscle Factory. Their pricing is very competitive for quality product. I ultimately bought a 1" anti-sway bar (and shim kit) from The Parts Place for $95 + $19.20 shipping. It bolted right up to the boxed arms nicely with 2 shims on each side.

There is about 1" of air space between the bottom of the differential housing and the top of the bar (see pic). I have no idea if this is close to factory, but it looks good and functions well.

Muscle Factory and and The Parts Place are 2 good leads to consider. It will be interesting to hear responses in regard to other vendors and their pricing.
