Looking for a fan shroud for 1970 442

Guys, I'm looking for a fan shroud for my 1970 442 Tribute.
I know I can order one from Fusick, but what I want to know is
what OTHER Oldsmobiles, Chevy's, Pontiacs, Buicks etc shared this same fan shroud ???

I'm guessing most of the same model year A-bodies did, but I want to know what OTHER
models did as well and what OTHER years did.

Basically I want to check the junkyards BEFORE I just dump $120 on a new one.
This one is out of a 1971 Buick Skylark with the 350.....will it work??

someone correct me if i am wrong. i think that all from 68 to 72 will fit each other but i also think that 70 was a one year only part. it looks differant than the others.

69-72 Cutlass shrouds are the same. The 1968 part is one-year-only.

To answer your "other" question...no....you won't find one from another brand car that will work or look right.

You could probably save a few bucks buying a decent used one....these things survive pretty well if they haven't been sitting out in the direct sun.

Run a "Parts Wanted" ad.

Do you have a local GM dealer that gives you real good prices on GM parts??
