Sorry, these are not the kind of yards you can call and ask anything.
These are Pull It Yourself places and they won't even tell you what
vehicles they have, much less what parts are still left on any given
one. They won't even attempt to answer such questions.

 You pay a buck or 2 to get in, bring your own tools, wander around
looking for a vehicle that interests you, take off any part(s) you want,
carry them to the cashier, pay a standard/arbitrary price for the type
of part(s). A bucket seat is $25 or so whether it's a perfect leather
seat from a BMW or worn seat from a Escort.
