Sport Mirrors

Hey guys, anyone aware if there are any other year GM sport mirrors that can be used on a 72 Cutlass? I see lots of 70-80's mirrors that look like they would work, but I'm not sure...

The later mirrors use the same head but the uprights are different.

I used Fiero Mirrors on both my wagons. I wanted a sport style mirror and one that was fairly large so both my wife and I could see better. They worked out pretty well.

Actually, the Chevy B-body wagons used a very similar (if not the same) mirror. I have them on my 86 Caprice.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'm going to see what I can find out there and do a trial fitting. It seems that mirrors for my year range are hard to find andguys are jacking the prices up.
