Post a WTB in the first gen "parts for sale" section as well. There are plenty of cars being parted out all the time. Another good bet would be asking in your local region forum.

Do you need the small or big spindle type? The 1985 came in two flavors. G and GS have small spindle, GSL and GSL-SE have big spindle.

There is one on eBay right now for a good price from a 1984 that has been posted for a few days. Now sure how you searched.

All 84s and 85s had big bearing spindles.

Thanks for correcting me. I didn't know. So any 84-85 front spindle with accept a 110mm or 114mm (GSL-SE) hub/rotor. Good to know.

Jetboatking, if you need help locating parts, PM me. I'm in Albuquerque (which by the way is less than 300 miles from you) and we have a junkyard with two 85's in it. We seem to have had a steady flow of them over the past five years. I sense a bit of frustration, but don't bite the hand that can feed you dude!
