Default Power Antenna Differences - 1993-97__VS__1998-02

Hi,

New power antennas for 1998-2002 (#10402860) firebirds are nearly impossible to find. However, there are many new Delco antennas for years 93-97 (#10269280).

Does anyone know what the differences are? Would it be possible to take some parts ofs an existing 98-02 antenna and retrofit a new 93-97 part?

It appears the tips are very different. The bottom brackets are different but this could be remedied by swapping brackets. The core of the antenna look identical.
