Hello Sharon,
A salvage yard should have one. If that is the route you want to go, and can't find one at a local yard, contact Beville Auto Salvage, in Lawton, Oklahoma. I would bet they will have one. They only salvage GM vehicles.

Another possibility would be to look in J.C.Whitney. I am almost sure they would have one, but it might be chrome plated, and more than you want to spend.

I will also give you a link for a forum site for GM enthusiasts. There is a link on that site for parts, and someone can help find almost anything. The site is free, but you will need to sign in to ask questions. Totally free, and a great site.
