1992 Z28 BRAKE CALIPER QUESTION

Does anyone have a picture of the stock front brake calipers on a 1992 Z28 with front and rear disk? When I look for replacements for these the online sites show a finned caliper for Z's with rear disk. I'm not sure if this was for the 1le package or the standard brake system.
Thanks

The standard duty caliper is not finned and is cast iron. 1LE is finned and aluminum.

You can get a remanned front caliper from a parts store for about $15 with a core. They look brand new. The fronts are not finned in the front unless they are 1LE.
The rear are finned.
