When I lived in Illinois, I found a Pick n Pull accross the river in Missouri that had one FC. It was COMPLETELY stripped down to the bone. It seems like they're really hard to come by in junkyards. Good luck with your search.

stripped to the bone as well. Only one I've ever found at a junkyard here. They are pretty rare.

This site is very useful for any car(s) that you're trying to find parts for at a local junk yard/all around the US. I came across it years ago.

Good luck on that one. Last one I seen was in lockport. Interior was fully stripped already and no wheels, or brakes. Come to think of it, it had a manual rack, and I took the s4 lower control arms and end links.

Wow, I didn't even realize there were that many junk yards in IL. I did find a couple FC's in MI though. Basically completely stripped. I was able to snag the brake caliper brackets I needed though.

For sale section is where its at.
