Default any advice for freeing a siezed front brake caliper?

I have an 1985 montero and I was wondering if the was a good way to free a seized front caliper.

I recently got the front wills spinning again by changing brake cylinders.

I have been trying to find a used caliper and cant find one anywhere used?

Try soaking it with penetrating oil. Transmission fluid works very well for this purpose too.
If it is really corroded and frozen, you may need to look into replacing all the rubber components after you free it up.
