Howdy Larry and Bob also

I know of some yards in California for school bus parts, truck/bus parts, and lots of misc diesel stuff. Call Candy's Diesel in Dinuba at (559) 591-7862


Since school buses and heavy trucks run the same running gear, you will often have good success at truck parts places also.

I have bus parts, but most of my items are for Gilligs, then Crowns, and I have some Ford stff too.

However, I have some friends who have lots of parts, one owns a yard, and I also know where there is quite a bit of stuff in Mc Allen Texas.
(Actually the stuff is in Pharr, TX, right next to Mc Allen)

The folks in McAllen/Pharr have a bunch of Detroit motors behind their shop. They are the local Volvo/GM truck dealer, and also have a big garage. They are nice people. They did a repair for me when I was hauling emergecny supplies to Mexico last year, and hardly charged me anything. it was very kind and generous.

Finally, I have a good friend in El Paso named George Bearden who runs George's Truck Repair. He is also one of the best mechanics I have ever met in my life.

If you guys want any of these Texas phone numbers, call me at 559-251-3814. I always like talking bus and truck, and will probably learns somethng from you all in the process. I work on my bus all the time, but am not a professional mechanic

Good luck
