Default APPS stupidity

Well I just did something stupid. I was working under the dash and had a screwdriver on the floor. Lying on my back working on some wiring, I reached over to the passenger side and wouldn't you know it, I crack the APPS. Of course now I have the throttle sensor light on and no acceleration.

Now my problem. Seems that the salvage yards don't know what an APPS is, even after an explanation, and the ones that do, don't or won't see if they have one.

Would anyone here be willing to sell me one for a decent price? Really in a pickle since this is my only ride and currently have to borrow a vehicle to get back and forth to work. One disadvantage of living out in the country.

Thanks for any assistance ahead of time and remember, no tools behind you on the floorboard.

1999 Chevy 6.5 dually no mods yet.
