I don't think GM is "remaking" anything. They license the rights to reproduce if I'm not mistaken. You might try getting a hold of a program by Detroit Iron. It's a CD of photocopies of the GM Parts & Accessory manual, Body & Chassis manual, and a couple of others. Around $40-$50 but it's worth it to have all the data in one place. It takes a bit to be able to read the GM P&A book but you can take the part numbers there and check with http://www.partsvoice.com to see if any dealers might have it.
GM Parts & Accessory book shows 62-69 (all Chevrolets) Rochester (7027910) are the same and 70-71 (7028056) are the same. I have an OPG catalog from 2000 that shows them either spade ($25.05) or pin ($13.10) type. Shows they fit 68-77 for JUST the housing - doesn't even include the retainer. Probably even a Buick, Olds, Pontiac, or Cadillac in those years would fit as well. Unfortunately, you found out the hard way about Original GM parts being resold at a huge markup. Sometimes these are old dealer stocks that have been bought and many times you can find the same thing at your "local" dealer. I was looking for door striker bolts. Everyone wanted $8-$10 each for them. Got two from my local Chevy dealer for about $3.50, tax included. Also found a left and right door lock/latch assembly through Partsvoice before "OEM" came out with their repos. Got both for the price of one OEM latch.
