I don't think so, but replacement mirror heads are pretty cheap. You can get the chrome 5"x8" at Wal-Mart for around $20.
Couple of forum sponsors carry the complete assembly for around $50...they can probably do just the head as well.

look for three phillips screws located around the mounting post.
If you see them you can tighten them and stiffen the ball joint up.
My 86 had them, but I have also seen several that did not.

If you guys want a laugh, I checked out the cost of replacement brackets for my mirrors [they have some rust] on my 84 F250 from Ford, turns they out the only come in complete sets.... $345.00 plus 14% tax Canadian OUCH!

Now you know why I put stainless steel west coast mirrors on my truck.
They were only 300 dollars, and they are big enough that I can see everything behind me.
Makes it so much easier to back a trailer in a tight place.
As an added feature I can also install lighted and heated mirror heads for a few dollars more. They are a great place to attach cell and CB antennas.
The only downside is some drivethru lanes become a test to see how good you are at estimating distances. My truck will not fit through some bank drive thru window lanes.
