Default Looking for a used parts shop between Chicago and Las Vegas

Anyone know of a junk yard along Chicago-Las Vegas route? I'm heading past Chicago, IL to Las Vegas, Nevada on 94/80 and plan to buy a USED full roof air fairing for my International 9400 (mid-roof). Called a few shops from the Truck Paper but no one has what I need. I did have a small wind deflector before but got rid of it due to water leaks in the sleeper' plus I'm pulling tall dry van trailers right now and need a bigger fairing anyway. Any location tips would be appreciated. Looking to pay around US$250-300 plus installation.

Have you done a search on the internet? Surely, there is one that might have what you need along the way.

i did a ton of searches but 99% results refer to 'pickup trucks' not 'heavy trucks'. i did manage to get to a web site called candhtruck.com who show some salvage parts for class 8 trucks in iowa.

Found it! Truck Paper had an ad of a truck parts place in Omaha, Ne. Called them, they said they had a used deflector I was looking for. Picked it up today for 400 bucks plus installation. All I have to do now is stop by a paint shop when I'm off and paint the top yellow. Or maybe paint my fenders red I haven't decided yet. The shop is called TRUCK REPLACEMENT PARTS (TRP) and their website is www.trpomaha.com They manufacture fiberglass parts for trucks (incl. bumpers, hoods, tank skirts, whail tails etc.).
