Need knuckle for 97 3500 cab/chassis

Does anyone know where a salvage yard is that may specialize in OUR kind of trucks. I have a 97 3500 cab/chassis 4X2 11000 GVWR with the link coil suspension. It is basically a Dana 60 with no transfer case. Back in March my Right front wheel bearings seized up causing the spindle to break and my tire to be up underneath the truck. I replaced the hub which includes the wheel bearings in a sealed unit and the rotor. I failed to notice that the actual knuckle was bent slightly. Now after 30,000 miles the rotor is trashed since all the pressure from the pads were going to the outside of the rotor. I priced a new knuckle from DC for around $900. I was hoping to find a used one from a salvage yard but have not had any luck as of yet. I haul expedited freight and odometer just turned 478,000. Was hoping to make this repair as cheap as possible. Any ideas???
Thanks

Find a junkyard that is connected to the nation-wide computer network.
If you can't come up with one this way it isn't available.
Though the computer network I've gotten parts overnight that have come from all over the US.
