     You know, my experience (5 yrs in LA) was that there really aren't
much in the way of specialized yards, at least in LA. Why? Because
there's so damned many bugs and busses running around that the regular
ol' salvage yards have 'em. Seems like it might not be cost effective to
specialize when all the local yards will beat your prices. Dunno if
that's why there's no specialized yards or not, but it could be.
