Are you trying to find a splash guard (mudflap)?

You should be able to find an OEM type on line.

As far as the junk yard people taking parts off for you, they usually won't but sometimes they will.

Reminds me of a back-in-the-day story. When my daughter turned 16, I gave her my old "airport car", a 1979 Chevrolet Caprice. She wrecked it within a month of getting it (front end damage).

So, I took her down to the local wrecking yard and had her go in to try to find parts for it. Not to worry, I wasn't far off. She was a very pretty girl and quite well endowed and was wearing shorts. The kid behind the desk was quite taken with her and grabbed a tool box and escorted her back through the junk yard till they found a car that had the parts she needed. (Oh, I was not far behind).

The nice young man pulled off a headlight unit, a grill and some other parts for her. When they arrived back up to the office she ask how much he wanted for them, he walked over to his boss and came back and said "no charge", with a big grin.

So, it just depends .....
